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.

Cut executed. They're PM'ing me right now and I'm trying to explain the policy. It's not going well.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I hope they understand, thanks for the cut.
Have you mentioned that making your own creator page can be allowed, as long as it follows the rules, and not only was that page overly-fluffy, it was also so full of weasel words that nobody reading it could make out what it is this kid does. Not to mention, he listed his date of birth which doesn't seem to be otherwise available freely and indicates that he's a minor, and this wiki wants to avoid all that mess where possible.

OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!I mentioned the fluff, yes, and I also said that we approach this sort of thing from the trope end, not from the creator end. For most You Tube content creators with significant bodies of work, we make a Web Video article first, not a Creator article, and it has to be about their work, not them.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Don't know. He's suspended from the wiki until he figures out what's what. I'm waiting for another reply before I decide what to do.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Back to the launches: as there were no other suggestions to rename Relative Unknown, it's been moved to Unknown Relative. I've also made Relative Unknown into a disambiguation page.
Motion for Putting the "Pal" in Principal and Fantasy Counterpart Religion to be sent back to TLP, I'll get a list of the thread's reasoning, follow the drafts, and pm the launchers.

OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!Found Sonic The Hedgehog 2019 which so far has Zero tropes on it's main page despite having been created 4 months ago.
I've messaged the person who made the page 3 days ago, but they haven't responded.
That guy from before ban evaded to try to recreate their creator page under a different title. Bounced them and cut it again.
That's a placeholder for an upcoming work. It's what I might call an "informal" violation of our rules. It has Trivia and YMMV subpages, even though some of the examples seem like they're written by whinging fans. It's probably not worth the effort to cut.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"This one might be a job for the P5, because I'm not certain this isn't straight up porn, but I'm posting here for the sake of procedure so the creator, refinlucy, can respond to the Stub notifier I'm sending along with doing this post if they're going to.
While fixing an entry in Potty Failure, I can across Omoani. Putting aside my earlier concern that this is just about fetish porn, other issues include ZCE's, bad indentation, the work's description being located in the synopsis subpage and the absence of any named characters.
I'm assuming this is doomed to the Cut List for one reason or another, but that's no reason not to do this right.
While I'm at it, there's been no action from the originator of the page I originally mentioned here

Yeah, I'd say we can cut that latter page. Regarding Omoani... yuck. That's one for the trash pile.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Found one more by them EDENS ZERO, which actually seems to be legit, going no its only content of "Hiro Mashima's 3rd major work."
I'll add it to the Cut List regardless, along with the one mentioned ![]()
The user PM'd me last night asking if the cut Omoani page could be recreated if notifier issues were fixed. I was direct and said 'no', as while works with fetish content aren't forbidden, this one in particular was nothing but the fetish and unlikely to pass content policy muster. note
EDIT: I got a PM from a troper, immblueversion , who asked if it was okay to make a proper version of the EDENS ZERO page. They showed me a sandbox they were working on and it seems solid enough at first glance. I told them as long as it's a proper page with proper tropes, I didn't see any reason they couldn't make a page.
I passed the OK along.

The cut request for 'Fanfic.The Betrayed Of Issei Hyoudou was declined. Should I assume it was decided there's enough there for the page to not be a stub?
It does have a description and three tropes, to be fair, so I wonder now if the circumstances behind how it got made is coloring my view.
Mawkish Mistake was launched. Its old name, Bait-and-Switch Sentiment wasn't great, but [[ https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=x3g8ojn74jlhiqivdepndzbk
immediately before launch]] OP changed it to the entirely inscrutable current title.
I never heard the word "mawkish" before and based on the definitions I'm finding, it's not even really fitting for the trope anyway.
Clearly send back ASAP.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.^ if the trope is otherwise OK, we could just move it to Bait-and-Switch Sentiment
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
I say it needs to be sent back due to the obscurity of "mawkish".
As Angry Chef has been launched, and much of the examples has been transplanted from Disgruntled Chef, what do we do with the latter and its draft
? Should we also redirect Disgruntled Chef to Angry Chef as well?
Mawkish is a commonly used word in Britain, so it's not obscure as far as British English is concerned.
That said, I agree it's not appropriate to the trope as described and the name should therefore be changed.
If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

It's his 17th birthday tomorrow, nice. Easy delete.
