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.

It appears to have originally been a Main/ redirect to a troper page, and the redirect was blanked rather than cut, and then someone added text.
I vote cut.

Psychedelic Comedy Bromance obviously needs some sort of help. The description is a mess, and it has only three examples, all of which are zero context.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.
I found Nobody Eats and I suggest cutting it. It has three examples, but only two of them are straight. Also it has less than two lines of description.
In uffish thought
I vote redirecting Unknown Troper again. It may come up from time to time, and the main page being in Tropers/ is unusual so the Main/ redirect is useful.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Space Cadet? Character trope, not sure if we have it, reasonably well-written description. I think send it to YKTTW for refinement.
Also, I was unaware that Pinball/ was an approved namespace. Pinball.Space Cadet should probably be at Video Game, right?
EDIT: The same guy seems to be creating a whole bunch of pinball stuff without going through YKTTW.

Re Space Cadet
Yes, it should be sent to YKTTW. Also, the examples need to be properly sorted.
Most of all, we need to drop the whole notion of it being a Discredited Trope, given the fair number of recent examples.

Carousel Body: A stub trope that was created by a Wikipedia Syntaxer apparently.

The article even admits that it's a duplicate trope.
Am I a weirdo?
Yeah, I vote cut on that one.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.
Magical Guide was apparently launched without a YKTTW in March '12. It only barely meets the "three examples = trope" limit, and has fewer than 10 wicks. It seems like a legitimate supertrope to tropes like Spirit Advisor, but hasn't gained any examples beyond those added by the page creator since more than a year ago. I'd favor sending it back to YKTTW to gather more examples and possibly flesh out the definition futher.

Captain of USS Bajor
It has some typos but other than that it looks good. It makes sense.
The Cosmopolitan Fictioneer
It seems to have not been listed on an index yet, though.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
There is no Planet B
I support cutting Nobody Eats. We have They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich for rather unrealistic eating.
Sometimes characters eat a lot, have lunches and dinners, parties and eat and drink huge amount of stuff.

Crowd Surfing: Exampleless stub. Not clear on purpose. What is to do here?

Zzzzzzzzzz
Throw it back to YKTTW.

Indeed. It can certainly be made into a trope, but needs YKTTW badly.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
There Are No Toddlers looks like it was mis-launched or never had a YKTTW in the first place. It could be a trope, I guess.
I'd say send it to YKTTW.

A planning sheet for an offsite roleplay. Even if it was in the right namespace (that double-barreling thing happens when you delete the namespace altogether, by the way) it wouldn't belong on the main wiki. Cut, and probably message the creators.

Unknown Troper: A weird page. Cutlist, or some other treatment?
