Who can I contact to cancel a portal nomination.

I stopped at a church today that didn't have a portal on it. I got out took some pictures and submitted the church as a portal. Right as I hit submit someone came up to my vehicle and asked if I would like some information on the church. I said no and I explained to him that I was adding the church as a Point of Interest so it would show up on games like Pokemon Go (cause I doubt he had ever heard of ingress). Of course he had no idea what to make of that and said "I'm not sure if we would want that". I apologized and said I would cancel the submission.


Now I just need to figure out how. Anyone tried to cancel a nomination before? Is there an email or contact info I can get a hold of someone to cancel my submission? Or do I need to wait for it to go through and get it deleted after it shows up in game?

  • You can't.

    The way this would go down is if after the submission gets approved, you ask the owner of the property to request a removal of the POI.

  • Is okay. Niantic isn't going to eract a real portal beside the church. Just leave it and move on.

  • If it ends up bothering the church, they can get it removed. I have a nearby church that got 2 portals removed (church and water tower at property edge) because they run a preschool and didn't like the traffic from the pokemon gym.

  • Short answer . You can't . Chances of it actually bothering the church folk themselves is probably quite low depending the people in the community.
