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.

Marvel's Spider-Man is full of plagiarism from wikipedia.
The Uncle Dolan Show contains nothing but a description and was created and last edited on August 2016.
Recently created page for ATGS Wiki may need a review, it's archive of (self described) trolling and may be crossing to tropeing real-life people
Sounds good on paper (he/him)

This might need cutlisting if it can't be salvaged, if the work even exists. Edit: The show's existence has been verified, so the page just needs tropes.
If that page were older, I feel like it would have already been cut via the websites cleanup thread.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

RecommendedMods.Stellaris was made last month. It's unindexed, is an irregular namespace, seems decidedly outside the purview of this site, and is the work of one troper.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
Lost in Space
Sorcerer in training
Well, there's The Uncle Dolan Show episodes on Youtube. So it's in the required existing accessible form.

I see. I wasn't sure because the editor(s) of the show's page didn't link to it.

I tried to add some tropes to The Uncle Dolan Show, but I really don't have the... hmm, ntah... time... to watch the work to mine for examples.
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
I'm not very familiar with LuigiFan00001. The only reason I created the page was because it used to be in an invalid namespace (it was LuigiFan00001/LuigiFan00001 before I moved it). I tried adding a few tropes to the page, but it's still not a lot. Are there enough tropes to keep the page?
I'm not sure what Analysis.Vigilante Man is meant to be, it doesn't look like Analysis to me
The Lateverse has no tropes, sent stub notifier
How to Keep a Mummy has one ZCE trope, sent stub notifier
Dark Shadows (1991) was created back in 2012, and looking over the page pretty much all the examples are Zero Context Examples and it doesn't have a work page description.

That can probably be cut as a stub if there are less than three examples with enough context. If there are at least three, we could take the page to this thread so that we can fix the lack of a description.
Edit: Namespace notifier sent to Analysis page creator.

Theater.Half A Sixpence is a stub and in the misspelling of the namespace. It also only has one example. I sent stub and namespace notifiers.

Rage Breaking Point was launched with no warning by a troper who hasn't commented on the draft despite the seven bombs the draft has gotten. The last comment on the draft was pointing out how similar is it is to tropes with pages, making it pretty clear there was unresolved issues with the draft.
Veteran Editor IV
This trope has existed since 2011, so if you're sure there are big problems with it, take it to TRS instead.
Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)
^ I think the launch in question is Pushed Too Far, which has the issues DustSnitch describes. Until the launch yesterday, the page was just a redirect to Rage Breaking Point.

The hat to bomb ratio is too small, so unlaunched.
Edit: Launcher has been messaged as well.

Creator.Jara Cimrman is about an old Invented Individual,should it be in that namespace or another?
These two pages seem to be misplaced personal troper pages
Loverboy is just the film poster, sent stub notifier
The Maker has one example, sent stub notifier
Chaotic Good seems to be someones opinion about Real Life rather then analysis of fiction
marge simpson anime has no tropes and may be sexual in nature, sent stub notifier
Roleplay.Harwells Institute has no examples, sent stub notifier
Wander Bots has no examples, sent stub notifier

recently launched Gayngst-Induced Suicide is The Same, but More Specific as Driven to Suicide

As much as I support the effort for Bury Your Gays, the most recent launches (including Gayngst-Induced Suicide) were rushed by the sponsor. They were launched pretty much immediately.
I disagree that the concept and origins are the same and I think it is distinct from Driven to Suicide, so I vote to send it back.

sure they were launched quickly, but I wouldn’t say rushed. Substantial description, many examples, relatively good discussion but that’s always down to circumstance, and obviously a positive number of hats. I left it open to comments for 12 hours after I thought it was ready for launch, none came, so there was no reason for it to stay in TLP any longer.
Blapper of Water
I mean, 12 hours is like two seconds on the Internet. Most people do not refresh the page to check for updates every hour on the hour. For many tropers, it's part of a daily routine but not multiple times during the day. Some people only visit at the end of the week or start of their week.
Moreover, there clearly is overlap with other tropes for many of these BYG tropes, such as Driven to Suicide. There ought to be more time than usual expected, not less.
