"Commandeered" portals
I've been noticing several rename requests of old seed portals, usually misplaced post offices or libraries, to whatever it near the location, typically a business. Generally, I reject these requests because the correct action should be to move the portal to the correct location or to remove the portal if it is a duplicate. I've been debating on whether to report these renaming attempts even though they don't break any specific rule.
So how do you personally handle such renaming attempts and do you think renaming a seed portal in such a way is appropriate?

I could see an argument for both tbh. Leave the portal where it is and adding a new portal for whatever moved = 2 portals. Move the portal then try to add whatever the new thing is = 2 portals. I would do it based on what seems easier to get approved if I wanted 2.
But what if the first location was a generic buisness, such as a Taco Bell or Tutor's Brisket World franchise?
You can always select unable to determine best choice iirc. If you feel it shouldn't be a portal any more you could attempt to have it removed if you get close enough to it.
