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.

Stone Punk has problems, too; much of the example section seems to be ZCE misuse, probably stemming from a somewhat weak description. I'd bring it up again in Trope Repair Shop if not for the fact that the mods are refusing to open old threads because they don't have the time even while opening up half a dozen newer ones.

I've added some description to Stone Punk, but man literally every example is Zero Context
New list of stubs:
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
...were they all written by the same person? Anywho, the second and last ones can go to cut list right away, might want to give the others some chance
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
the problem here isn't the trope itself but the fact it didn't show up anywhere outside YKTTW.
what are you saying? This trope doesn't exist?
Here are two more:

stick The Parappa on Needs Wiki Magic Love, and nuke The End.
~Bk-notburgerking I checked for you, the page didn't actually launch. You're going to have to get the yk restored and then get someone else to launch it. Though if you've been edit banned for a year and a half, you might want to resolve that before, y'know, editing.
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
I don't care about editing, how do you restore the YK thread?
By politely asking a mod. Septimus might do it for you.

Unlaunched that YKTTW. Have the issues about the trope overlapping with another one been handled?

I'll go through it :)
The page for Webcomic.Powerup Comics is a stub.
However, it has a rather expensive page on DarthWiki.Powerup Comics, which I find strange.
Apparently, it isn't a real Webcomic, but I can't be too sure. The existence of both pages is contradictory at the very least.
Oh, I can answer that one.
It is "real" in that it was published and existed. But it's not real in that it was a parody designed to be the worst possible Cliché Storm of awful webcomics and not trying to be a genuine comic. The Web Comic/ page actually seems like it should be a Just for Fun/ page since it's treating the comic at face value, and the Darth Wiki/ page should go to Web Comic/.

For any work stub, I'm just going to say "PM the creator, if the problems aren't fixed in 8 days, cut it."

Movie Superheroes Wear Muted Colors got launched and it's kind of a natter-y, complain-y mess.
Not to mention it's waaaaaaaaaaaay too close to Movie Superheroes Wear Black, which specifically mentions in its description that a suit doesn't have to be black, but it's pretty common for it to be the comic colors in a more muted scheme.
EDIT: Looked at the YKTTW. There's unaddressed complaints that it's a duplicate of Movie Superheroes Wear Black (well, it's addressed but in a sense of "well, I don't really care if the description covers it, the name doesn't") and it managed to get launched with 6 hats... and 3 bombs. Shouldn't that be a net of 3 hats? Not to mention the picture... which shows a muted movie costume... next to a bright one.

I reiterate my last statement on the work stubs. Message the creator and if they're not destubbed in a week, cut them.

and some of those are awful. This is why I think we need a yk herald, because a lot of tropers just never get the message about what's cool.

@ Larkmarn: at first I was gonna say that superhero color trope is covered, but the OP then gave me some pretty good points to let the trope stay.
Idk what to do, though.
But I kinda find it weird that it gets 5 hats WAY too quickly.
MAX POWER KILL JEEEEEEEEWWWWW
What good points, because between all the examples being Movie Superheroes Wear Black, the entries being more opinion than example, and MSWB having a paragraph devoted to what Movie Superheroes Wear Muted Colors claims to be, I already cut listed it

And they're supposed to be about real fads, which I will safely assume Bible Punk has not been
