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.

"Boring Self Demo" to me is any Self-Demonstrating character page for a character whose speech style isn't unique or interesting.
Today's worklist:
- The Dark House Series: ~wolfdancer95, please do not make character pages for Darth Wiki articles.
- Gyakuten Saiban 6: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Protect Him: This page needs to be moved to Literature.Protect Him, ~Triumphant Magician.
Most of the "Boring Self Demo" pages are just generic first person. Writing a page as "I am this way" instead of "They are this way" is not in any way even slightly interesting.

The Sibling Rivalriesof Scottand Penelope is another stub.

Hank has only YMMV and Trivia items in its trope list.
Found a page for some upcoming game by the working title of Deep Down which is a stub that leaves a lot to be desired.

"Gyakuten Saiban 6: Stub work page; creator messaged."
I didn't like seeing a WMG page without being attached to a work article so I figured I'd make the article with what I had. I won't necessarily object to it being removed but I would like to contend that there will be new news about the game within the near future (as in this month).

^We'll need at least one more trope before that works.
Today's worklist:
- Attorney Online: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- CORELINE: A Terrific Summer's End: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Zen Pencils: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Metropolitan Blues has been a stub for ~3 years. Good to cutlist it?

OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
So the Deep Down page had slim to none adding of tropes over a year apparently. I would have liked to add stuff but there is little info about the game and the developers seem to have gone very quiet about. Since the work only has a working title, is cutting the page until the official name and further info announced an alright idea? I'm a bit conflicted.

Ryo Bakura is pretty misleading since it seems to be a page for Abridged!Yami Bakura and is listed in the character page as official!Yami Bakura's page.
Today's worklist:
- Harmagedon: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Princess Peach: This page seems fairly cutworthy to me. Any disagreement?
Just cut it, it's not like Princess Peach talks much in the games anyway, and this is basically the character page in first person.

I mean what interesting quirks does Peach have besides being a generic damsel in distress, therefore I support cut.
I wonder if Bazooka Joe is too much of a stub, of if you guys would consider it salvageable.
I'm thinking it should be in ComicStrip/ and not ComicBook/, for starter.

Peach could be cut while Bakura might be salvageable if it's renamed.

firejewel launched Anime.Pokemon Hoopa And The Clash Of Ages today. I don't know if it's still considered a stub, but I feel like it's still not up to snuff. I had put fixing it on the backburner because I wanted to see the film before continuing (I only had Serebii's synopsis to work with), and its dub hasn't been released yet.

Today's worklist:

- The Million Dollar Duck: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- MOLEBASHED: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Bazooka Joe is a stub indeed, but Pokémon: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages isn't - it has enough examples.

Additional stubs: God's Demon, The Illyrian Adventure and Heavens Hell.

Today's worklist:
- Able Archer 83: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- House Of Secrets: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Venturian Tale: Empty unindexed character page by ~Charlie Hadron.
- Witchingand Bitching: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Added this to the cutlist. Hasn't been updated in a year and only has 5 tropes.
How sweet it is
This trope was recently (blank-)launched with no hats, so it may need to be sent back to YKTTW.
Edit: Seems it has been discarded now.

May I ask a question in this 'Boring Self-Demo' pages? What would constitute as not a 'Boring Self-Demo'? I mean, we will have to draw the line someday.
And I'm sorry if this sounds like a Broken Record to you, but... I made some 'self-demo' pages. Do they sound like 'Boring Self-Demo' to you? If yes, then I gladly offer them to the cut list. (Aside of Illidan, because I think it has been cut for being... well, that)
