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.

Even as it's currently rewritten, Captive Push feels extremely meaningless to me, honestly.
Today's worklist:
- Fantasy Fiction: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Kate & Mim-Mim: Stub work page; creator messaged.
![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
it needs actual examples, that's why.
Agreed, it's well-written, but it's still just... something that happens.
Was doing some typing for a page I made earlier today and came across Living Forever is No Big Deal. Created this morning, no YMMV that I could find in a search, no index, no examples, just a description. Sent a PM to the creator and, per said PM, posting the page here.
Today's worklist:
- Bitcoin Billionaire: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Crazy People: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Invictus: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Wiki Sandbox: Do we make such pages?
Living Forever is No Big Deal should be cut if it doesn't get a YKTTW.

Today's worklist:
- Game Shakers: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Koe no Katachi: Empty unindexed character page by ~Lord Zoroark.
- Nick News with Linda Ellerbee: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Someone Im Sure: ~Someone Im Sure, that namespace is for indexing a work's fanworks, not for listing fanwork pages.
- The Time Ships: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Today's worklist:
- Drama Tropes: ~ayanami000, is this supposed to be an analysis or a review?
- Reddit: ~Kell08, please do not make empty unindexed character pages. Especially not for websites.
- Software: ~D Cfanboy Of The FLASH, do we really make character pages for software?
emperor of my mind
I did it because there was an unindexed character page for the mascots of a voice synthesier. I was trying to index everything and i didn't know what to do with it.
edit: I removed the index. Also I'll start being selective about what merits being indexed in the first place

That analysis is surely a review for a work without a page? Not sure how it's in Drama Tropes, though, unless that's the name of the anime...
Aspies Like Trains has just two examples and a poor description
Chin Music Line Dance seems to be Mook Chivalry by another name
Cut and move anything useful to Hollywood Autism.
Yes it does. And it sounds like... line dancing by the title.

Today's worklist:
- Aquarion Logos: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Aspies Like Trains: Aye, cut that. Calling ~The Leondude.
- Awaken: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Chin Music Line Dance: It is also completely exampleless; calling ~mdizzy here.
- Screw the Rules, They Broke Them First!: ~hamza678, line of dialogue names for tropes are prohibited.
- Uncommon Animals: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Though Screw the Rules, They Broke Them First! needs some work, a simple name change could be Rule Nullifying Action? Breaking Rules Nullifies Rules?
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
Time for a title crowner then?
On an unrelated subject The Lonely Door might work with a bit clean up (espically if it gets a picture) and Press X To Win abit of mess with only one example.

^^Both these names sound very awkward.
Worklist:
- ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Crisis Force: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Lobo (Webseries): Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Press X To Win: Stub trope that needs a run through YKTTW.
- Western Animation: ~bluethunder25, this namespace is for listing work pages, not merely works.
I cleaned up The Lonely Door and added a picture for the moment.
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
So I found this Montage Parodies page by random, and I'm not sure what to do with it.
If we have a useful notes on new media, a line about it can be moved there. It's terribly written, and contains lots of very specific vocabulary. It's in the wrong namespace. It's not something that gets tropes. It's... all wrong. It's so painfully wrong.
Potentially gets a line on YouTube, but so niche that it'd be out of place. Memes? It's basically a Memetic Mutation of action game video review styles being applied to non-action games. That's probably where a short note on it is best fit.

- The G5verse: Stub. Creator messaged.
Characters.Oxydata is a stubby little unindexed characters page that's not attached to a works page. Sent a notification to its creator.
Orphaned subpages are actually deletionworthy by default.
Today's worklist:
- Elephant6: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Life After Beth: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Mafia III: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Spiral Down Films OCT: Stub work page; creator messaged.
@Valyr: The Sandbox namespace is recommended for times like these. Pages there are assumed to be under construction. You can bring the page up to specs, then put it in the proper namespace for indexing and crosswicking, and cutlist the Sandbox page.
