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.

Can we put a hold on Super Made Man? The same troper that rogue launched it before is intending to launch it again, and doesn't seem to realize that there's still issues to be addressed with the draft. With ten hats, it's no wonder it's become an issue.
Double Barreled Pump Action Shotgun was ghost-launched (is that a term? Launched with no fanfare, no bump, no discussion) with a net 6 hats. The last discussion or bump was four years ago and questioning whether this is a trope. It goes without saying that launcher gallade123098 didn't participate in the draft.

Lost in Space
Asexual Equals Aromantic was discarded by The Great Conversation, who didn't participate in the conversation, and it seems there was no discussion on discarding it at all.
Bonnie's Artistic Cousin
Is it possible they dumped it for the Discard thread? Maybe send them a message about it.

They didn't post there either...

Should say I did restore that draft, with the reasoning that there was no pre-discarding discussion.

Dark Magical Girl Genre was launched prematurely.
How sweet it is

Unlaunched. Since the launcher did participate in the conversation somewhat, sent a message.

Well, it seems like it has already been unlaunched.
Was it the same person as last time??
....
No, wait, it also exists?? Dark Magical Girl Genre...
The Launch List is not helping...

That's...bizarre. The draft was definitely launched...cutting the trope page wouldn't hurt the draft, right?

Dark Magical Girl Genre's discussion page lacks the orange YKTTW archive link.
How sweet it is
Can confirm that it was launched again by the same person. Suspended the culprit (Screwy Sqrl).
Edit: Also, cut processed.

It seems Kill Tally TLP has been rogue launched by ~Tourney Guy, since he's not OP, hasn't participated in the conversation, etc.
How sweet it is
Unlaunched, will suspend user.

Armor Piercing Statement was launched with zero examples, from a proposal that had been idle since June 2017 and that had attracted no substantive discussion.
Bonnie's Artistic Cousin
That proposal got 5 hats.
Let it sink in.
Since it has, I'm going to go bang my head against a wall, later.

^ It is commendably free of Word Cruft...
Bonnie's Artistic Cousin
But no examples. Zilch. Nadda. People seriously need to learn what hats are for, because this is just unacceptable.
I'm pretty sure at this point that the majority of people who participate in TLP just automatically give hats to everything.
Bonnie's Artistic Cousin
Wouldn't surprise me.
This is why I'm so desperate for it to be mandatory that people post reasons when they hat things, and also when bombing things, although it's more important for hats.

Unlaunched and suspended Troper No. 9001. They have no excuse.
