The State of Nominations, Part 35

Being that the end of the month is at hand, and being that it's been two months since the last one, it's time to update on how my nominations for new PokéStops in Pokémon Go have progressed. I always strive to have some progress before I make the update, and there has been at least a little bit of that. Perhaps, depending on the (relative) scale of that progress, it might also be considered a lot of progress even if it doesn't look like it amounts to that.

Speaking of amounts, there are the hard numbers to get to as usual. With this update, I have 179 Accepted nominations, which is an increase of 7 from last time. Then, the number of Not Accepted nominations remains at 66, keeping it in check while the former keeps increasing. The progress is relatively minimal - being in the single digits - but the results may turn out great for Trainers in the areas of concern with the new PokéStops.

The most significant progress may be that I've checked all of my Accepted nominations and determined their presence. I've found that 164 are actual (live) PokéStops, while 7 of them have not been found (that is, are absent), and 8 of them have been found as Power Spots instead, disappearing and appearing with time. While the resolution of the former as the latter may almost be a certainty, it still helps to keep both of these separate for now.

For newly made nominations, I've dumped 5 more into the Wayfarer system, and they're going to go through the usual In Queue and In Voting hoops to determine their resolution... yet it seems that some of these could already have their resolution be determined, which might be a major hurdle. That seems to also apply to their preparation, which always seems to be dumped only just before I make this update; it's something that I hope could be changed.

With the way that PokéStop nominations are, it seems that progress may indeed be expected in amounts of "a little" or "a lot", as well as depending on the perspective that one views them in. For the current update, it is very well that the nominations have continued to proceed and the successful ones have been qualified. It's certainly something to look into in the period between now and when the time comes to make these updates again.
