Prematurely launched pages and pages that weren't fully fleshed out at the point of launching, are a big problem. Since these usually share several problems at once, this thread is aimed at re-running them through the TLP for fixing - the usual fix - or cutting them if they are too bad.
Problems this thread deals with include bad names, not enough/bad examples, unclear description, etc.
For the interested, here's a list of recently created pages
. Launches
Note: Please do not request a mod to unlaunch drafts that don't have any issues besides lacking a launch notice/24hr launch notice. While 24hr launch notices are mandatory, there are a few exceptions to the rule. If you see a draft's sponsor launch a TLP without an announcement, it's best to remind them of our TLP Guidelines first. If they continue to repeatedly launch drafts without a launch notice, you can report them on Ask The Tropers or the TLP Community Issues thread.

I actually searched for Fan Favorite because I thought I had seen it, and didn't find it. Now I know why. Seconding the suggestion to cut Darling.
Only one work on today's worklist: Prince Staghorn's Known World, a stub work page whose creator has been messaged.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
Evening worklist:
- Kroniki Drugiego Kregu: Work page created in wrong namespace; needs to be moved including the wicks to I think Literature.Kroniki Drugiego Kregu; made by a ~Veanne.
- Neck Beard: A stub trope page which was created by ~lamartsboys and cutlisted; I've declined the cut request pending discussion.
- Titan Souls: Stub work page; creator messaged.
This morning has Abandoned Temple, a trope made without YKTTW by ~seerofthevideos. In my mind, it has too few examples and it's not clear what the trope actually is.

Today's worklist:
- Ninja Slayer: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Yui Kaori: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Today's worklist:
- Alfred Alfer Shorts: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- 'The Fox Hunt: Stub work page; creator messaged.
So, are you sending Abandoned Temple to yk?
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
As a setting, it seems tropable( the gang visits the Abandoned Temple as the location of the object of power), but yeah, that needs YKTTW. Vote to send it there

Just found Stealth Commercial. Not been indexed, with no examples, wicks or inbounds. Doesn't make too much sense to me, either. Can it be salvaged, or simply cutlisted?
(Annoyed grunt)
Stealth Commercial is old, but not particularly useful. I would cutlist it, unless someone wants to put it through YKTTW. Same for Abandoned Temple.
Otherwise:
- Ask Mat 2 Mane 6: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Rise A Warhammer Fantasy Game: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- To The Will Of The People: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Snakes Are Sinister is a mess. It never got a proper definition and example section, and the page is currently just the entire YKTTW comments and all copy-pasted into the page.
I'm not sure if it's a crash, per se, but Creator's Favorite Episode was launched yesterday and has been neither indexed nor crosswicked (literally no wicks as of this posting).
Edit: For that matter, I first noticed this on the day of the launch and waited to see if the creator was just a little slow, but Hypnosis-Proof Dogs also has not been crosswicked since its launch four days ago. It has three wicks.
Is this an appropriate place to point out pages that just haven't been properly launched (i.e., indexed and crosswicked) rather than those that just obviously weren't ready to launch in the first place? Or is there somewhere else such posts should go?

On such bad launches, messaging the creators can also be done.
An evening worklist:
- Fallen London Livejournal Community: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- How Silent Fall The Cherry Blossoms: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Someone will have to move Abandoned Temple to YKTTW; recently I haven't been working there much.
Otherwise, worklist:
- History with Celebrity: A somewhat patchy launch by ~wesker56; needs indexing and crosswicking.
- Kaijumax: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Two more:
- The Tripper: Stub work page with no description and two ZCEs, created in 2013. Clear cutlist material.
- Imogen Poots: Stub creator page, which should at least have a list of works they were involved in or a list of tropes for their involvement in those works.
Oh, duh, I should have known that. I'll do that. Thanks.
Dread Sorcerer of Auchtermuchty
The person who made MiniSeries.Prey I've already contacted about how we usually do disambiguations in the same namespace (by country or by year.)
Keeper of The Celestial Flame
Er, disambigs aside, I was not aware that we had a Miniseries/ namespace.
By which I mean, we don't.
Aye, that page is not legal. It should be cut after moving.
Otherwise, today's worklist:
- The God of Crawling Eyes: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Please Ignore Vera Dietz: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Characters.Toukiden: Empty unindexed character page by ~Sun Praiser; needs indexing and actual content.
Filthy casual
I moved MiniSeries.Prey to Series.Prey UK Miniseries and cutlisted it.

I was going to move Abandoned Temple to YKTTW, but then remembered Temple of Doom is a trope and covers the same basic concepts. Cutlist Abandoned Temple?
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
Sure.
Anyone got commentary on Snakes Are Sinister?
Otherwise, worklist:
- Kagato The Final Boss: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Stay Awake: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Purple Eyes WTF: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Evening report:
- Mythos: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- The Price Of Power: A page made in an ad hoc namespace. Not sure if we should have separate pages for such things, at any rate; by ~Akuma Ouja.
Today's worklist: The Muppets On ABC is a stub work page whose creator has been messaged.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
