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.

Aye, there is a page there, but almost all ZCE.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
The Unknown
If you restore it, I can probably fix it if the only issue is the ZCEs
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

The page isn't locked, so you can edit it when you like. 
I'd recommend whipping it up in the Sandbox namespace first, to make sure it's up to snuff. (Because life happens.)
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry Pratchett
The Unknown
I don't think I can re-create it from scratch, if that's what you're implying. I lack the drive, experience, and know how (mostly for formatting) to do a write-up of the movie, which is why I wanted to know if we still had the page contents on file so I could work with that.

Recreated that page under Pokemon Hoopa And The Clash Of Ages.
Otherwise, worklist:
- Elecyan: What is this page about, ~elecyan?
- Rising Thunder: Stub work page; creator messaged.

I'm on it.
I know the minimum trope requirement is five, but that intro paragraph looks short. How long does it need to be?

A couple paragraphs minimum is good. At least long enough that people can get a good idea of what the work is about and what the storyline is.
I would recommend more, but I tend to be wordy with my descriptions. 
Main thing to remember is to write it as though Spock's dad has come to Earth and is learning about the work for the first time. (/teasing) In other words, assume no prior knowledge in the reader. You don't have to spoil anything, but it should be a good introduction.

~singing30, ~Moon_Girl and ~xxbiasonxxx, please do not make empty unindexed character pages, thanks!

^Alight, but I'm confused about how to make indexed character pages
Sorry about that! It was a long night and I figured I would complete everything the next day! I'm a little confused on indexing as well, but I'm going to look into it. 
~singing30: Please check out How Indexing Works.

One Missed Call and Tomie need to be moved to namespaces that are actually suitable - as they are, they currently aren't.

One Missed Call to Film, but isn't the second one okay? (If not, merge with the manga page or Film)
No, they'd have to have their own pages as well.

I don't know enough about it to make all of the pages, but I can move the first one
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
I've moved the page back and locked the redirect pending an actual split.

Septimus Heap: I checked it out...it is still confusing, so I'm just going to avoid creating index until i really understand it
Looking for more input on these:
Lack of gestation aside, Captive Push is decently written, but very much People Sit In Chairs. Cut To The Funny, on the other hand, is pretty much entirely covered by Funny Background Event and/or not tropeworthy... it's so unclear because it isn't written very well.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
singing30, it appears to me that your page was indexed by someone else.
Cut To The Funny is stupendously vague, but Captive Push does mention narrative reasons, so not PSOC.
Otherwise, worklist:
- Thar Shaddin: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Yeah, I rewrote Captive Push to make it not PSOC (I don't know about the ZC Es, though), and Cut To The Funny is back in ykttw so it can go.

I'm the creator of the Thar Shaddin stub page mentioned two messages earlier. Sorry about that, had to leave mid-creation. I realize now I probably should have removed what I had and posted the whole thing later, but I was rushed at the time and that didn't occur to me.
I'm picking up working on it immediately, and it won't happen again. My mistake!

I mistakenly used Film, when according to your post 4 pages ago
it was listed under Anime.
How about Anime.Pokemon Hoopa And The Clash Of Ages?
