We really appreciate you trying to correct to map to avoid more users being routed to the wrong place, but by using the community and the other Google tools as workarounds to speed up the process you put all your contributions and the effort you put into your account at risk.
Claiming a false GMB, trying to remove as spam a real POI, using multiple accounts to "speed up" the deletion, making submissions that you are not familiar, are some examples of violations that no matter how many good edits you've done in the past, it can get your account in some big trouble.... and we don't want this to happen with any Local Guide.
As much as I understand your intent in fixing the issue, we all need to adhere to all of our policies.
The first time you flagged the POI, it went to our team for review. Now we just need to wait a little bit until they check and see all the information has been submitted to fix everything.

Hi guys, no way. Nothing happens while trying to edit this place. So, I think the last resort will be to claim, verify and request deletion from GMB. What do you think?
Please remember that you should not be attempting to find workarounds but rather should use only the processes provided only in the manner which Google has said is appropriate.
Claiming this feature is not permitted under GMB's rules; you need to be the owner or their representative, and such person must only claim the main feature.
You have stated this is a duplicate, thus marking this as spam or non-existent also are not appropriate. Marking it as a duplicate is the proper process, after which you should leave it for that process to take place. There is a long queue at this time, and even once it reaches the top of the queue and a Googler initiates the merge that process can be weeks or months long.

Gregg, this feature DOESN'T EXIST, so, claiming it it's not a violation of the rule i should be owner of.
This is a duplicate, if we talk about the main railway station, it's spam, if we think it's placed in a wrong place, it's a second name of a station, if we think it's wrongly placed, but any of these actions, including changing name, category, hour of service, italian name, etc. end in an instantly NOT APPLIED, so it's not going in any approval queue, for any LG has trying to do this.
So, to avoid thefts and pickpockets to use this SPAM entry, as this is confusing tourists looking for the main station diverting them into an insulated area, i will do EVERYTHING i could to solve this issue, including claiming that "business" and closing it.
Or, as I've asked you could escalate this to @GusMoreira into moderation board, thanks.
Anyway, just claimed, verified, changed name (to avoid confusion in users) and removed the verified business. Now is back on maps, unclaimed, with a name that, at least, reflects the reality.
This was the only way to change name, trying to address this issue.
Just tried again to mark for removal, without any success.
