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.

Yeah, we can send it back.

I'm curious if we can keep the edits done to the page — most of them are either good examples, adding some links, or fixing grammar.
In any case I updated the sandbox the sponser had with the updated draft and page.

That should be fine.

The sponsor?
Also, as a former rogue launcher, I should note that there may have been unresolved issues with the draft that the rogue launcher didn't know about.

The sponser, AKA the person in charge of the draft.
I apologise for the rogue launch. I wasn't aware of that mistake.
Is Iconic Attribute Adoption Moment going to be sent back or not?
I got the feeling that I used to contribute there, but I forgot.
I need to ask how that is different from Characterisation Click Moment, though.

I'm Sad Frogerson.
From a quick glance, Characterisation Click Moment is meant to be a point where a work finally nails a character's personality. Essentially, an Establishing Character Moment that doesn't happen when the character is first introduced.
Iconic Attribute Adoption Moment is about an adaptation where a character doesn't have their proper appearance yet (like a costume), but they get at a pivotal moment in the story, signifying their transition to their iconic look.

The title could be clearer that it's adaptation (or derivative work) specific at least...
Stick Girl has vague description and I can't find anything confirming it's existence, what do want to do with it?
That page is so weird... Maybe PM the page creator over so we can discuss this with them?

Works pages are free to launch, but that is a bit of a sad example. I mean, who makes Unperson a YMMV trope to talk about a show's obscurity?

The page creator is ~Rock Raider.
I can assure you all that I put that there because it was the truth. There is no intended Creepypasta, the series it refers to did indeed exist. I watched it back when I was a kid. Here's a number of episodes of that show I watched.
1.One of the main character listening to music on headphones.
2.The "Generation X" episode.
3.An episode about ear piercing.
4.One episode related to little mammalian animals running something (just go with it).

Okay, but you realize you can't just put normal tropes as YMMV?

The show is definitely real. It has a website here.

I have added the link provided in the page.
Given the obscurity, it could be a series of shorts to fill in spare time in between shows. I mean, I've seen shorts that I could no longer remember their names to fill in the gaps.
If they're aired solely at the internet, then the proper namespace would be Web Animation. If these episodes aired at television or film, then it would be Western Animation. Looking at it, it had premiered at a film festival that was hosted by a defunct website, and had an award from them. I'm not sure if a Flash animation series that premiered at a film festival would count as Western Animation.
Update: Due to its mature themes, it's unlikely that they would be shown in Nickelodeon primetime, not sure if they're aired at the Teen Nick block.

Anyway, this probably isn't the right thread for this but, what should we do with Pichu-kun's drafts? The sponsor just up and disappeared with their last edit activity being in May 2020, and they have A LOT of abandoned drafts (many of them are gender-based).

Since it has been 4 months now, should we put it to the TLP Adoption Drive?
Unless they come back...

You could try asking Trope Launch Pad Adoption Drive thread, and it would help if you have a list of links to the drafts.

Pichu never really cared about people adopting or editing their stuff anyway, so I think they'd be OK with the drafts going to the adoption drive.

Looks like we have a case of Artistic License - TLP Procedure: Artistic License Indigenous Peoples was stealth launched with the bare minimum net hats and ongoing concerns about the trope's quality.
That would be a good DarthWiki.This Exists page, Artistic License TLP Procedures.
