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.

Someone prematurely launched Works Set in World War I. In the discussion, it was pointed out that we still needed to change this page into an index, which I was in the process of doing. But someone already jumped ahead on launching it.
It still says that is The Same, but More Specific espically with the shared examples
A new account created two image links pages that nude shots of actresses, I'm not sure if worth keeping
Zerans Folly has no tropes, sent stub notifier
Just Another Party has little description and I am not sure if the examples are enough to qualify for a page
Creator.Rebecca Gayheart has a one line description, a picture and isn't indexed

if they have an account purely to add nude images, they should probably be brought up at ATT
Brought it up.
Moonkitti is... bizzare, to say the least. The two editors who worked on the page don’t seem to be familiar with how TV Tropes works.
This account is dead. I’ve said a lot of dumb things in the past and I wish to forget them. I’m sorry if I’ve ever hurt anyone.
Recently created stub: A-Ville.
Please note I'm not the creator; the responsible troper is avillemedia.
I have just moved the page because it was initially given a hyphen in the title.
I've sent a message to said creator.

How sweet it is
Messaged Moonkitti's page creator. Hopefully they fix it; if not, it may be cut.

I PMed the Total Drama Armageddon page creator yesterday with a more detailed explanation of the problem than the standard stub notifier provides. (The page had two tropes before I deleted one for being an non-noteworthy aversion.) The page creator has corrected the problem, adding several valid examples.
Bigotry in the name of inclusion is still bigotry.

~lempamo just discarded various drafts en masse without ever having commented on any of them. They discarded almost 25 drafts, 20 of which were done yesterday and 5 of which were done today (and the day literally just started).
Technically, they commented on Fur vs Scales but they discarded the draft within 16 hours, so it's practically like not commenting at all. And yes, I did check every draft for their username.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
Hatdom Heresy has been launched again. Not only has the name (which had a lot of detractors) not been changed, the Literature example is a mess.

Note that the draft actually has a totally different name (Execute The Exception). It was launched by Apple Gates, the original sponsor who named it that wretched title in the first place. It seems like they don't want to give up on the name.

The degree to which Execute The Exception sounds like a better trope name than Hatdom Heresy is almost jaw-dropping.
How sweet it is
Unlaunched the trope, again.

Apple Gates just discarded the draft entirely. Apparently they thought that it's either their way or the highway.

The Cosmopolitan Fictioneer
You mean he wasn't reported already? Because that absurd and highly disruptive sense of entitlement that he had already exhibited before this unilateral discarding is way above the requirement for involving the staff, IMO.
... Also, the discarding of drafts should be reworked so that it needs a staff member to give the final greenlight, to avoid such abuse in the future.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
Ain't Them Bodies Saints has two tropes (and the description is ripped off from Wikipedia to boot). Sent stub notifier, although I'd be more inclined to chop it outright. Wdyt?
Both Creepy High-Pitched Voice and Instant Turn-Off were launched by Inksqueezer after the drafts had been idle. Please unlaunch.
From the ATT thread:
I propose cutting down the trope since it's an obvious snowclone of Cool X and has so few wicks (and non-elaborated ones at that) to its name. The longwinded trope description will definitely not save it in its current state.

YMMV.Fox News Channel might need a check as it's YMMV page on a creator and kinda general
Characters.Naegi is not attached to a work page and was made by an editor by the same name so it may be about the editor and other real people
Quotes.Video Games seem quotes from one game quoting other games
My Superhero Academy has no tropes, sent stub notifier
Head Sports has two tropes and weirdly the page framework, sent stub notifier
Onyanko Town has no tropes, sent stub notifier

Crisis Catch And Carry was launched as Crisis Catchand Carry. How to fix this?
Edit: I requested a custom wiki title change. Is that the appropriate action?

do you think it needs more work? I think the outline of the relationship to Driven to Suicide is pretty clear
