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.

Those two Characters subpages have been cut.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"The Fimbles has no tropes and it may be in the wrong namespace, sent stub notifier
Shardlake has one full example, sent ZCE notifier
Taima Miko Yuugi has one full example
Working on cleaning up List of Shows That Need SummaryAnnihilation (2018) has already been brought up in ATT, but I'm also dropping it off here since I sent the troper who made it a stub notifier.
I'd fill in more tropes myself since I've read the book it's based on, but honestly, going by the trailer they changed it so much I'd rather have waited for the film to be released to make a page or add anything. Anything I could glimpse from the trailer would automatically mean something book-related to me and there's no way to be sure if it's actually the same until the film airs.

I ended up putting a recently launched trope into the cut list under the impression that it wasn't ready yet. I would like to request the trope to be revived.
The Trope (or Index) in question is Action Genre.
Original the Signature. Do not steal.Action Genre can be found here in the TLP. Anyone can launch the page, though the page only has two wicks so crosswicking still needs to be done. Strongly hinting that I think Drope should do it since they cutlisted the page.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they prettyConfession Deferred: It's been edited four times in as many years, and has six wicks, one of which doesn't count because it's Pages Needing Wicks.
There's a real trope there, but it needs... something. I don't know how to make people pay attention to a page.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.To continue what I queried from a month ago:
Can anyone please find the drafts for Jerk-to-Nice-Guy Plot and Friendship as Courtship? I can't find them anywhere when I searched it.
Also, can anyone unlaunch All Canadian Police Are Mounties? There is only one wick.

ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔|I DO COMMISSIONS|ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔Also, can anyone unlaunch True Art Is Foreign (draft), Chimney Entry (draft) and Dub Personality Change (draft)? The first two had been launched by Trumpton 360 and the last one by Sullytofu; there had been no consensus in launching on these drafts.
EDIT: I saw that True Art Is Foreign was put on the Permanent Red Link Club.
EDIT 2: And I'm up for that trope to be redone without being too complainey.

OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!Pokémon Tabletop Utopus Region has no tropes, sent stub notifier
The Prison Boys has two tropes, sent stub notifier
I'm not sure what Characters.Personality Blood Types is meant to be and the comment left by the account doesn't help
Working on cleaning up List of Shows That Need SummaryI think it's listing characters that fit the trope, they clearly don't know how the wiki works. Cut it, send them a message about where examples go. And English.

I already cut the junk Character page. Has the user been messaged about it?
Edit: Actually, it won't be necessary; they will be called in for grammar and formatting as well.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportWhat's the minimum for a Creator/ page because Creator.Owen Wilson just says he is an American actor
Creator.Alice Munro may also need a look, sent ZCE notifier
World Teacher Isekaishiki Kyouiku Agent has no tropes, sent stub notifier, the page description is also a direct copy of the blurb so they the creator may need a message about that

Working on cleaning up List of Shows That Need SummaryHeroic Russian Émigré was launched with five hats, three examples and no discussion. It absolutely has to go back.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.It was launched by Just Troper. Also, it had some discussion, but that's dated September 2017 and the sponsor (Just Troper) did sort of respond.
I agree that it needs to be sent back.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they prettyMusic.Skum-Faux says it is for a fictional band, not sure if that's proper
I noticed that these two sub pages exist for a work page cut listed by Fighteer, should they be cut too?
Billy Ray Cyrus has no tropes, sent stub notifier
Dr Wolfula has no tropes, sent stub notifier
Jody Watley has no tropes, sent stub notifier

Working on cleaning up List of Shows That Need SummaryI cut the subpages. Just missed them on the original pass.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"When I said "no discussion" I meant "no discussion on launching," sorry to be unclear.
That Skum Faux or whatever seems to be part of the "circular encouragement" between Jacob Elmer and Jordann William Edwards. They collaborate, then make lavish (and rule-breaking) pages about themselves and each other.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.So I'm guessing that ~Fox Jake is one of the people in question? Calling them here. If they don't respond promptly, we'll cut that article.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Adding ~JW Edwards to the mix as well. Seems like a lot of Auto Erotic Troping going on.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"His issues are also mentioned in the Franchise thread.
Basically, there are a lot of stubby Franchise/ pages that have no business being in the Franchise/ namespace... or possibly any, since a lot of them seem at best unreleased.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.I don't see why you guys are harassing me and JW Edwards for. we're only trying to promote our projects and series that we worked so hard on for the past few years. We'd also appreciate it if you leave us alone and stop changing things on the tropes pages to something unnecessary. Unless there is an error you need to fix, i suggest you leave them alone.
You don't get to dictate our rules to us. You've been breaking a lot of them, and now you seem completely uncaring of that fact. We're going to cut the bad articles you made and you'll remain banned from the wiki.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Abridged has no tropes and no description, sent stub notifier
Characters.Dirty Coward was created with a misplaced example which the editor then added to the page, the example is also poorly formatted with word cruft
Characters.Borrasca was crated with one poorly formatted example, I am not sure if the editor want to make a character page or if it is an attempt to add an example to the work page
Material Girl has no tropes
