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.
