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.

On my routine cleanup of Main.Needs More Love, I've found this page:
to lack an index, and Needs A Better Description.
"They played us like a DAMN FIDDLE!" — Kazuhira Miller, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain- Halloween Man: Created by ~doctorfiction and ~nerdmaster666, both new accounts and probably the same person. Not a stub, but terrible formatting and loaded with ZCEs and Word Cruft.
Cleaned up that article a bit. Also, ~doctorfiction, what is Characters.Halloween Man?
Worklist, otherwise:
- The Attitude Era Podcast: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Diezel Sun: That article needs indexing and a bit more trope-talk, ~Jurnes.
- Dril: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Ultimate Yoshi: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Untamed Youth: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Today's worklist:
- Battleworld: ~Stratofarius, please do not make empty unindexed character pages.
- Dolly Kill Kill: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: ~Erik Howlett, please do not make empty unindexed moments pages.
- Go Greenman: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Outer Wilds: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- The Season to Be Wary: ~Will B Good, please do not make empty unindexed character pages.
- Unknown Assailant: Needs input - again. Like crosswicking.
- Wikizilla Roleplay: ~The Goldnguy, messing around with the page type won't get the page indexed. You need to list it on Haiku-Wiki.
Evening worklist:
- The Bully: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- DrinkingGame.The Eye Of Argon: ~reterusu, you know you can move a page yourself, yes?
- Go Godman: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Radar.Jopo: Um, since when does a You Tube video qualify for Getting Crap Past the Radar? ~unrealraccoon, the trope is about things that should have been censored but weren't, and nothing of that comes even close.
Today's worklist is only The Flash, a stub work page whose creator has been messaged.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanOh. I ran into trouble with the mods moving my fic from Fanfic/Mutant to My Little Pony AU Mutant. I'll move it over now
Evening worklist:
- Ice Ice Baby: Stub work page; also, ~tickingclocks, it needs a description, indexing and crosswicking.
- Paget Brewster Was Here: Er, this should go on Paget Brewster, ~Dr Impossible; we don't make such separate pages.
Today's worklist:
- Diezel Sun: This page was recreated after the cut, and it doesn't seem like the issues were fixed.
- Order And Chaos: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- The Saga of Avatar Korra and The Saga of Avatar Korra: ~danceljoy, please do not make unindexed empty subpages.
- When I'm Sixty-Four: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Wiz War 100: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Unknown Assailant needs input still.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanIMO; Unknown Assailant is too stubby to work as a trope page. It looks like a halfway decent start to a YKTTW.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Today's worklist is only Eret III, a stub work page whose creator has been messaged.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanEvening worklist:
- Homsar: ~Cavery210, what is the justification for this page? It looks rather lame and pointless to me.
- Hunter X Hunter: ~Dowwy, was this supposed to be an example of a trope?
- I Against I, Me Against You: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Today's worklist:
- Mega Man: The Power Battle: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Pilot: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Shattered Empire: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Today's worklist:
- The Multiverse: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- Trog: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Another worklist:

- Tales of the Beanworld: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Today's worklist:
- Fighting Dreamers: Stub work page; creator messaged.
- The Lonely Vincent Bellingham: Stub work page; creator messaged.
Ace Combat Xi Skies Of Incursion is not a recent launch, but it's really stubbly. It has a two-sentence description and a single example.
Yeah, that one can go.
Worklist, otherwise:
- Coded In Scratch: A badly done stub trope by a troper who has already issues with edits elsewhere.
- Radock: Stub work page.

I've just acquired Frontier Circus on dvd and set the series page up so I can add tropes as I watch my way through it. Hopefully, I will have it more fleshed out soon.
