Pokestop removed without a direct request

I've seen obviously where stops have been removed per request of a business or because they were near schools, etc. But has anyone seen a pokestop removed without request? Backstory of the stop: at a business building tucked off the main road. It is the only around for aways so very few if any trainers even spin it. I cant imagine anyone who doesn't play go even knows its there, that's how low traffic it is. I know because i live in an adjacent apartment complex. This stop has been around probably since early ingress if I haf to guess. Any ideas? Did an ingress player take it down for some reason? Thats the only answer I can think of.
