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.

The sponsor for that page also didn't add any of the examples provided in the comments.

I'm helping!
And precisely two crosswicks, even now several hours later...
I think this calls for an unlaunch.

Hmm, the sponsor was Cauchy Rerun When. Sounds familiar; I feel like they were mentioned before.
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Scary Skeletons Formerly Skeletal Horror recently launched. Seeing the name and no launch announcement, I'm assuming this is a rogue launch?
Goku Black
Yeah. Who rogue launched it
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

Not a rouge launch— Patar136 launched it and he did participate in the draft— but it is a stealth launch, and obviously underbaked. Bury the trope.

Send it back to the graveyard.
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
If a place only has prominent skull (and maybe skeleton) decorations, would it count?
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
I think Beware the Skull Base should be sent back to bake a little longer. It was only in TLP for two days, the discussion page already has a few posts about problems with the trope, and the page image is a duplicate of NightmareFuel.Poohs Grand Adventure — which doesn't even look like a skull or a hideout.

How did it even get launched in two days when the minimum wait for the button to show up is three? Must be just time-zone wonkiness, but it's such a small period of time they must have waited until the exact moment they could launch it.
Should note they've already begun crosswicking as well...
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Yeah that needs work. Unlaunch it.

Do tell the launcher to go to this thread about this.

I can't ping so I posted a link in the discussion.

I managed to send Patar 136 a private message. I did it manually instead of trying the automatic way with the tilde at-sign markup.

If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.

Hey y'all. I see the concerns raised. I'm prepared to flesh out examples as well as change the image if needed. I admit that better examples exist, I just have been having a hard time finding some. Navigating images has been challenging.
That said, I didn't get any major objections while on the launch pad which is why I went forward with launching it. What questions were raised I feel that I addressed. That said, if people are demanding it return to the launch pad I can accept that. I just don't want this concept to go to waste and really don't want to go about un-crosslinking it only to then have to do that later should it get approved.
Thoughts?

As for the image itself, since it does go with the quote at the intro I didn't see any reason not to utilize it. But it seems to be a point of contention that I do recognize.

Advise removing the image and petition to use Supervillain Lair's.

The quote and image being from the same thing actually counts against it. Whenever possible, it is preferable that they be from separate works.
Hero of the Winds
The picture from Supervillain Lair works. What does the process involve? Do I need to create a separate post? Maybe on the trope's discussion page?
Another image that I think could work would be a picture of one of the skull themed hideouts in Breath of the Wild. But I have to find an appropriate image.

Ya'll, take the discussion to the Image Pickin thread.
Brickfilms was stealth-launched (by the sponsor) from a draft that had been idle since September 2019 and had a total of three comments.

I also fail to see how it's distinct from Built with LEGO.
EDIT: Okay so I guess it's an index of creators who build with LEGO?

Bad Luck Protection was launched with no announcements and the bare minimum number of hats. I do not think it was ready.
