BUG (?) : Unable to add a newly opened restaurant named Desi Street through Maps app.
Let me share my observations after trying to troubleshoot the issue on my own.
PROBLEM IN DETAIL :
1) I tried adding through app and checked my contributions tab to see if it requires approval. I could see NOT APPLIED against the feature
2) Tried again. Same result
I gave up.
Just tried adding it using Google Map Maker
3) Desi Street was rejected instantly
4) Tried adding Indian Street. Same result.
(Desi roughly translates to local ; Indian in this scenario and that's the closest match I could think of)
5) Tried Desi Streets. Voila. The addition went for review
NOTES :
1) I searched my Inbox and could find NO notification mails from Google Maps regarding my addition of Desi Street -> Implying the edit was denied instantly like in GMM (?)
2) All my attempts to add, with the word 'Street' in the listing name were denied -> Street acts a trigger word like expletives (?)
3) I chose NOT to share in Google Map Maker forum as it's winding down
Any inputs @GusMoreira?
