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.

Unlaunched.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportSuper Made Man was rogue launched.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessHas Hands-Free Handlamp been brought here? It was launched last year and this ATT query pointed out that there's a lot of misuse. Even the page image is there for no clear reason; it isn't an example and the description text saying it isn't an example has been there from the beginning.
Edit: One discussion page post actually wonders if it was either rogue launched or simply launched prematurely (depending on what is meant by overzealous launch).
Edit: Just to clarify, I'm not questioning whether it's a trope, just how the page ended up.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.^_^ Thank you. I wasn't certain where to bring it up.
A nonparticipant has launched Breaking the Glass Ceiling (draft). There was some consensus from the OP about launching this after the title was picked (I voted for the current title); although there was still discussion about indexes before it was launched.

Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessNet hats is also too low, so unlaunched. Messaging the user.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportConfirmed to be the same user with the sock farm. Safe to say that the draft's not the only one getting bombed.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportAw jeez, missed two other rogue launches yesterday:
Childhood Nostalgia Song and The Night Owl.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness...And now Kill Tally too.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessDone, done, and...done.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportGrowing Into Their Paws has been launched with someone wondering if it was rogue launched.
If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.I went so far as to add Phonýmon to an index before double-checking and realizing it was yet another rogue launch. Got yer work cut out for ya this week, eh Berrenta?
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessRe: Paws: Since the launcher is also the owner, it's more of a premature launch. Unlaunched.
As for Phonymon, yep, that's a rogue launch. Unlaunched.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportThis very poor quality TLP was just created, and already has five hats. Something fishy here...
"It's just a show; I should really just relax"WebVideo.John The Hellhound's description isn't even half a sentence long. It cuts off suddenly. I messaged the editor about it but they haven't gotten around to fixing it.
That's... weird.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessRe: the TLP with 5 hats that shouldn't be there.
Geolocation checks out that it's Come With Me, who used the same hat-manipulating tactic that is suspected. Roasting.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportDoes this guy not have better things to do than make horrible TLP drafts and then hat them with socks?
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessThere Should Be a Law against sockpuppet voting.
