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.

just a minor one today, The Phantom Queen has three tropes but they don't have much information so they may be ZC Es, I haven't sent a notifier
How sweet it is

Send one anyways. I already did it.
As for Powder Game, aside from the stubbiness, there's no formatting! We can safely cut if no one objects.

The Extension of Evangelion has no tropes - sent stub notifier
Lost Episode Of That70s Show AKA Reds Gay Erection is just one line
Caverius created Analysis.Program Entry Template and Analysis.Association Football in what looks like an attempt to create a page about a sport
Lost in Space
I cut those latter two, locked yet another Program Entry Template subpage, and suspended the troper.
Pichu-Kun, calling you here, 'cause you launched Inconsistent Coloring.
... NVM. Inconsistent Coloring is the supertrope to Adaptation Dye-Job, as the latter is for color changes in adaptations. *sigh*, and no reason they can't have overlap?

I cleaned up Reflectionless Useless Eyes a bit because it wasn't launched perfectly (for example, it still had a Needs A Better Description in the description). Is the trope really needed though? It seems to be a super-trope for Dull Eyes of Unhappiness, Empty Eyes, and Mind-Control Eyes but don't all of those already essentially cover everything?

Link to TLP draft here. in that discussion, the launcher specifically states that this is the same appearance as Dull Eyes of Unhappiness but that this trope conveys a different meaning.
It's definitely an appearance trope, and I thought we weren't launching more of those in order to let the appearance trope clean-up effort finish.
If we're keeping this, I think it should be brought up in the appearance trope thread. But I'd think we ought to send it back unless someone familiar with that effort, y'know, defends its being launched.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
Franchise.Rangeltoons is one line, sent a namespace notifier
Not sure what Analysis.Ever After High The Royals is supposed to be
Knights of Gjallarhorn has zero tropes, sent stub notifier
Orient has one trope, sent stub notifier
A Fake Hero, has zero tropes, sent stub notifier
(I really need to figure out how to stop the New Page filter on Recent Changes to stop resetting every 24 hours, keep on missing pages)

That analysis page can safely be cut. I'll probably message the creator.
Edit: Looks like it's not the first time they did this. Calling them in.

NonTroper keeps launching a lot of YKTTW's. Crying Is Immature, Meteors Are Fire, Adaptational Backstory Change, Neural Roots, Knighted Without Trials, Big Showdown, and A Deadly Affair. I know at least my Adaptational Backstory Change was a premature launch; it wasn't discussed.

There were many more as well. Calling them in for rogue launching others' drafts and unlaunching.

VideoGame.Spoon Pets has little description and the tropes have little info as well
NeverAcceptedInHisHometown.Rea Life is misspelt and un-indexed
Flaming Meteor was just rogue-launched a second time. How does one fix this?

Unlaunched it again and warned the rogue launcher in the TLP comment.

The creator of Characters.Horror Within may need a message since it looks like a sub-page for a Darth Wiki page

Cut the character sheet and messaged the creator.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope Report
Noting that this is the second time they've done that... originally the entire Horror Within mess was a Literature/ page and had about 15 character sheets, despite not existing.
EDIT: Was Natasha_Chameli ever banned? Because they're now editing as VK Matriarch.
EDIT EDIT: Yep. Brazen ban-evader. Go ahead and cutlist the Darth Wiki page.

Cutlisted.
Blapper of Water
Note that they practically admit to it in the DarthWiki.Horror Within page, where it says "(This is the same elaborate story that was on the Main wiki, before it was so rudely and abruptly deleted without permission)." Natasha sent me some PM's that had the same kind of attitude after the Literature/ page was cut, not that it isn't transparent without that information.

Wow, the overblown sense of entitlement is palpable.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
I hate entitlement issues. They are bounced for sockpuppetry, anyhow.

The draft of Can't Count Bullets was launched outside the system without having much of a consensus (5 bombs/8 hats). Does this call for an unlaunch?

I think so, since my qualms went entirely unaddressed other than the name change which is somehow worse.

VideoGame.Powder Game is a stub with two tropes that hasn't been edited in over a year.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
