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.

Caring Gardener's description still hasn't been changed from its initial description when it was The Gardener, although, we did change the name.
Maybe remove the Magical / Mundane internal split, and change the last sentence from
To something like:
Mainly 'cause there's no focus on the "Caring" part of Caring Gardener's description at the moment?

Cutlist the first one. If you want, you can PM him and tell him that he can go nuts on his Tropers/ page but that page is a no-no.
Regarding the second one, you should also send another PM explaining the underscore thing.

Circle Of Evil isn't indexed and only has 4 examples.
How sweet it is
Created 5 years ago, and the last major edit is in 2015. I say send to TLP.
Agreed. Especially since Cycle Of Evil would be a much clearer name.

Weird, Denied Revenge is in the launch list, but the page is completely empty. It was launched by Torpid Drake a few days ago. Bug perhaps?
I heard that Torpid was a ban evader, so, can this and his/her/their drafts be Up For Grabs?

^ Yes. I'll move the draft to nuked.

I just want to share this, the polar opposite of the issues this thread fixes:
So someone just pm'd me here to say they thought my YKKTW was ready to go ahead now, it had enough hats. I said I had no idea what they were talking about.
They linked to this:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=5y6vn7guqg024srivi0oc0zg
Which I apparently created on July 5th 2009, nearly a decade ago.
Um, yeah, I think it's ready.
Dumbo
ah yes. Well, you created that before the decade began. They're saying it's probably ready given that (wow) the decade is nearly over. No issue with the page, enjoy.
Ah, it was ~Piter Picher. He's enthusiastic, just wanted to give you a heads up because it was your draft. Say hi :)

Haha, yeh the hats came in shortly after that. It's been launched and just needs a custom title.

I haven't done a YKTTW in...nearly a decade, I don't even know what hats mean or how to launch them anymore. Feel free to do so for me.

Analysis.Mulholland Drive is sentence that links to youtube video, is that enough for a page?
Gutskia has no description and a a bunch of ZC Es so it's kinda hard to tell if it exsists, sent ZCE notifier
Cardi B has no tropes, sent stub notifier
Somebody launched All Knowing Merchant, but it only has two examples. Looking at the TLP, it definitely wasn't ready for launch.

The OP jmslade7 launched it. It only had two examples.

Came to ask about this as well. Definitely needs to go back to TLP.
Especially since the examples aren't even for the same trope. The Chocolat example is a shopowner who is so in touch with her emotions, clientele, and product that she figures out what they need. The other example is a supernatural being that magically has what they need.

trumpton360 launched 5 tropes in a row that were inactive, but had 5 hats. I'm not confident they are ready yet. Tropes are...
Blapper of Water
Looking at Crowds And Groups Tropes, it looks like the drafter did everything they could to shoehorn in other tropes to the description. Like, (paraphrasing) "this has nothing to do with The Hero" (nobody would think it would) or "Does not involve Minecraft mobs" (an aggressive "mob" is not specific to Minecraft), etc. This makes me think some of the index items are also shoehorned. I think it's worth sending back.
Also, I could have sworn I saw him on the discard list, too.
To add to the report, though, he also launched Vacation Films, which I'm not sure was ready for launch. It could possibly be a genre but it's just a stub and relies on Vacation Episode for justification. I think it could be sent back to get more of a description at the very least. Basically, my reasoning is that works don't just "get indexed" like tropes do; that supposed index would be a genre or format or publication date or something like that. But this particular "index" has little to no information about what makes a film a Vacation Film or why it's specific to films only.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
Ghost Train needs work, it’s trying to be 2 tropes. Send it back.

@Sea Rover once it is live on the site it is not yours; if you think it may need future updates that you want to dictate, it belongs in the TLP. Moreover, any changes you do make cannot be unilateral or will be considered vandalism. Lastly, it is not about how you see it fit, it is a community effort.
On these grounds, and the fact it’s still not clear, motion to unlaunch Game Gourmet.
