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.

@Septimus
- I need to go a bit early, but I'm not sure if it counts that the "franchise" page mentions about the movie/s adaptation and the manga adaptation aside from the games and novels.
Give me a buzz.

Okay, so I would like to continue the Miles Tails Prower Self Demonstration page, and I'll need a bunch of tropes. I've got a few in mind, but still; any Ideas?

~Ominae: It doesn't count, alas. Franchise/ is only for works with three media with their own pages.
~Pika Pika 2: Actually, you ought to explain why a self-demonstrating article is needed or funny. As-is it's just first person - pretty lame if you ask me.

Seeing that those characters have never talked in canonnote , I say no.

It was actually on the wiki when I started on it. It was just empty. I decided to start on it when I realized... Pika Pika 2, you have no freaking clue what you're going into, you're making a whole gosh-dang page and you have no experience doing so. That's where I had troubles. I've never written a full page, I've only edited.

I'm going to throw the Adventure Time and Mitsuru Kirijo SD pages into the cutlist.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
@ Septimus Heap: Alright, I've added the previous submissions to the cutlist.

Like reflections in the glass!
This one seems to had been prematurely launched, the red link for the corresponding trope page and the MTD tags seems to imply that someone meant to discard it.
this one also has been launched, but with no hats and a similar red link for the trope page

the last one seems to be an accident, I'll restore it to yk.
Sigh, guess my article is doomed from the start is it? Don't worry Larkman, I will do it myself (I'm the one who created these pages). There are a couple of questions right now I have while I chuck them into the cut list.
- While you guys are complaining about the Adventure Time pages, I created one more character article (Sakura Kinomoto). Should I also cut that too?
- If I want to ever recreate a page for them, can I create a draft in YKTTW page for them, or are they blacklisted from Character Pages forever?
- There are a couple of stubs in the other pages too (Like the Elric Brothers, Crocker, and a couple more that I haven't red or watch yet. Should they also be brought here and being cut.
- If things go bad, are you guys going to execute "order 66" (Purging virtually all of the character pages) when the time comes.
.....
Sandbox? Does this mean that my character pages should go to Sandbox after this?
Lost in Space
Today's worklist:
- Project Dimentia Bodhisattva: Stub work page; I am talking to its creator.
- Zabibah And The King: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Additional stubs: Carried By The Wind, Nothing Comes Naturally, Rank Amateur, and Closed Gate. Ian McElhinney is another creator page that just seems to be minimal effort.
Remember To Always Be Brave, apparently, is an author who deleted one of their own work pages because they wanted to revise it.

I want to index my recent creation, but I'm having trouble finding the index in question. So where do I find the index for things like Moment of Awesome?

Index and description added for Dove Cameron.
Today's worklist:
- Ace High: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Honestly Confused: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Overhaulin': Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Precocious Love: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Princess Peach: Another page in the theme of "boring Self Demo" by ~Master Hero; what makes that speech style unique or interesting?
- The Robotnikclaus Series: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Transfer Student Storm Bringer: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Honestly I feel any "Boring Self Demo" should just be cut, most are just "the character page in first-perskn". Unless said character has an interesting speech and personality that may work on text, then it can be given a shot at being fixed, or cut if it just does not work.
~Morgenthaler, can you cutlist the stub pages you listed that weren't improved after listing them here, please?
Today's worklist:
- Akatsuki Hiden Evil Flowers In Full Bloom: Stub work page; creator messaged.

- God Is Dead: The only edit by ~SMac it is way out of scope.
- Iron Man 1: It's the only edit of ~pyromaniaclism and it doesn't look like an analysis to me.
- Miles Tails Prower: This page has been reposted by ~Pika Pika 2.
- Trapped In A Bubble: Stub trope without YKTTW by ~rimorianlorescribe.
