As the initiative started by @JanVanHaver about Local Guides Clean The Map (LGCTM), I’m here to bring notice of moderators that there are many famous places being used for business promotions.
I tried to edit the name and category of such places, but could not do it. One example is the famous Gurudwara in New Delhi - Gurudwara Majnu Ka Tila Sahib. This place and its category was renamed by a business organization - which makes inconvenient for many people to get reviews of such places.
Although the name of this place is restored, the category is still the same. It would be great if any moderator can change its category from “Bottled Water Supplier” to “Gurudwara”. @BorrisS it would be great if you can help here.

Hello @Tushar18 ,
Thank you for reaching out and flagging this issue. Please, use the following link in order to submit an edit and by the same mean to change the category of a certain place. However, please note that there are certain items in Google Maps that you cannot edit and these include landmarks, established points-of-interests or even the names of a city/village. Only Google can edit these although you can always send feedback and suggest your changes through Google maps.
For further assistance, please contact the Google Maps Help Center.
