BUG : Unable to add a POI listing with the word 'Street' in name

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.


Attempt 1Attempt 1

Attempt 2Attempt 2

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

Sharing the image of the restaurant (they went with an English font resembling Hindi script)
