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.

I'd say send it to YKT Tw.
It was discussed in Trope Talk, and the discussion suggested to take it to YKTTW and to make it trivia.

Has anybody watched Assassination Of A High School President? That page really needs some refining.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - Fighteer
Jacksfilms, Mike Nnemonic, Clumsy, Captain Britain.
And Are You Sure This Is For Kids, because while well done, it clearly violates No New Stock Phrases.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
The three of the first four which haven't been cut should be cut (as they're in the wrong namespace) and sent to YKTTW.
I think the last one you mention maybe should go through TRS, because aside from the name, it looks fine.
Some Girls, Second Chances, Virals, Life With Bonnie, Goddammit Joel, Indie Game The Movie and Game Jams.

1. Works page stub, send to appropriate media forum or YKTTW to cull examples.
2. Looks flammable, better torch it to be sure
3. Works page stub, send to appropriate media forum or YKTTW to cull examples.
4. Works page stub, send to appropriate media forum or YKTTW to cull examples.
5. Works page stub, send to appropriate media forum or YKTTW to cull examples.
6. Works page stub, send to appropriate media forum or YKTTW to cull examples.
7. Works page stub, send to appropriate media forum or YKTTW to cull examples.
On any of the works stubs, Cut Listing and starting from scratch is on the table.

Agree with these assessments, although I don't think cutlisting the works pages is a good idea because that also locks the page, which makes them more of a pain to recreate.

Missed that. Yeah, you're right.

These are all in the wrong namespaces, making their locking harmless.

The Enemy and Cheshire Cat Studios. By the way, has anybody an idea for a default PM to creators of pages that we are fixing here? Maybe with an invitation to help here?

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
Agree with standard procedures for those two pages.
May try to come up with a draft PM later.
Cantata, Matt Sloan and The Diviner.
Also, off to cutlist the other stubs.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
I'd YKTTW Cantata for examples, cut and PM for Matt Sloan, and The Diviner doesn't exist and shows no record of existing, so I don't think we need to do anything for it.
No longer a forum herald
I think he meant The Diviners, which is definitely a stub.
Expergiscēre cras, medior quam hodie. (Awaken tomorrow, better than today.)
Ah, yes, I would agree that that could use the cut and PM procedure.
Nintendo Logic and Lords Of Salem (there is a page The Lords Of Salem)
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
Nintendo Logic definitely needs a cut. Too many problems; unsalvageable.
There wasn't a delay. It was blank like that before I redirected it.

Rhymes with "Protracted."
Agree.
And also agree with the redirect you did there, Troacctid. (Although it took me a bit to figure out what was going on, as I managed to hit the page right at the point when the database recognized that the text had been replaced with a command, so the page was blank, but before the redirect was actually working. 
)
R.I.P 2 My Youth
Seconding cut on Nintendo Logic for the usual reasons. Also recommend PMing the author.

Cut. Especially the first one, which is a troper page in the wrong namespace.
Lost in Space
Besides the Take That! Lucas reference, there was no YKTTW.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
Release Date Change had no YKTTW and has only 3 tropes. It should be tagged as Trivia if it's valid.
I'm not convinced it's worth a page.
Oppression anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere.
