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.

OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!UnderInvestigation.Under Investigation is in the wrong namespace and has no tropes sent namespace notifier
Kardashev has no tropes and sub pages that just say TBA, sent stub notifier
A Work of Divine Providence has no tropes, sent stub notifier
RWBY Silver has no tropes, sent stub notifier
Ricky The Mushroom has one trope, sent stub notifier
Can we restore some drafts that are salvageable? One time I tried to make a draft with the same name, it told me that the draft already exists, so I picked out another name.
ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔|I DO COMMISSIONS|ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔~katrinahood: ... Based on what, exactly? There's nothing in the comments on that draft that could indicate unsalvageability.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.Marq FJ A21st It was based on the number of bombs it had. In hindsight, I should have paid more attention to the contents of the draft itself.
Jan Boehmermann was left a stub after most of its content moved to YMMV (which a creator shouldn't have in the first place, I think).
FanficRecs.The George Lopez Show is odd, it looks like someone's description of what they want in a new season rather then a link to any work
FanWorks.World Of The Munatar doesn't look like any sort of fanworks
City-State has no tropes, sent stub notifier
Annoymoose Monster Girl Saga has no tropes, sent stub notifier
Out of the Dark has one trope, sent stub notifier
So Soulmate AU Fic and Coffee Shop AU Fic are being scrapped? What about Zombie Fic for that matter?
wow, Zombie Fic is... bad. The Stinger is longer than the description...
I think we could move them to a JustForFun.Common Fan Fic Scenarios page like the last page suggested.
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!Was Queer Show Ghetto launched too early? It was one of my TLP's, however someone else took over and launched it.
Unlike the other "[x] Show Ghetto" tropes it didn't launch with an "Exceptions" section. I'm also confused on the line about yaoi and yuri being for queer audiences. Yuri can be, however the main audience is straight girls.
Nope, had a lot of work done in TLP, where it was also decided to not include aversions since that opens it up to listing all shows that are remotely popular with a queer character, and got 12 hats before launch. I took it over after a while, though someone else had grabbed it and then abandoned it before me, so you must have not done any work on it for a long while.

OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!JustForFun.Nintendo Mirage was created by ~luigiman2201 on March 26. It appears to be troping real people; you don't get a pass on this just for being in the Just for Fun namespace.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Yeah, seems like that (and its subpages) should just be cut.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.WebOriginal.Y-Com was made yesterday. Sent a stub notifier, but I also just noticed that it's got a hyphen in its URL so it (and its equally stubby characters page) will need to be moved even if it weren't a stub.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.While the recently launched Beacon Of Hope appears to be a tropeworthy concept, it was launched under a name that risks easy confusion with the already-existing trope Hope Bringer.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.I dunno. What I do know, however, is that Beacon Of Hope ought to be either unlaunched or sent to TRS, where a discussion could be had to settle on an appropiate name that carries little to no risk of easy confusion or Trope Decay.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

Okay, used Wayback and found the user involved. ~katrinahood, care to explain the discard for the draft in question
?
