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.

I'm helping!
Meeting strictly required minimum criteria does not mean a trope is necessarily ready to launch.
Maybe it was ready, I dunno, but there was zero actual discussion on that point.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Pixel Pusher
Touché.
Is there a way to get the trope back?

It got unlaunched, not cut, so the draft is back where it was.
I'm not sure why Rescue Merger was discarded. Seems a bit early in the process, with no obvious reason coming up that merited an immediate discard.

The sponsor discarded it. Why, I'm not sure. ~The Dark One 1995?

Film.The Navidson Record — created in October, no tropes, no indexes, no real evidence that it exists outside of a single novel. Bringing it up here for review before putting on the Cut List because it is so new.

It seems like The Navidson Record is an in-universe film in House of Leaves. Not sure if Shows Within a Show are allowed their own pages...
Well, they're allowed their own pages, but I'm not sure if they go under medium namespaces or Just for Fun.

From what I know, Just for Fun if there's not enough legitimate tropable content presented and the appropriate namespace if we see enough of it to trope it as a show itself, like The Itchy & Scratchy Show.

Navidson Record definitely has enough content. I'm slowly making my way through the book and half of it is about analyzing this fake movie.

Masculine, Feminine, Androgyne Trio was rogue-launched by Candle Man 87.
It had been idle since October.
Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

This is the second time that Masculine, Feminine, Androgyne Trio had been rogue launched. It might need a hold for now.

Instantly Dated was just rouge-launched by Tommy R01D.
Lost in Space
Unlaunched and suspended.

Not the point; our article doesn't have enough content. It's a stub. Do you think you can fix that in a couple of weeks, or will it be easier to cut and start over with the notes you're taking now?

It's taking me ages to get through the book. I might be able to add a few of the beginning tropes but I wouldn't be able to trope the entire "film".

We only need 3 for it to stay, right? As said on How to Create a Work's Page?
Heck, if it actually does start with a "The", that's Definite Article Title right there!

I mean, you guys can probably mine examples off of House of Leaves. I can't because I'm scared of spoilers.

A week overdue on this one, but Power Dynamics Kink was stealth-launched with only four net hats.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Not particularly interested. If you want to leave it up to me, who has no plans to watch either, I'd go through the book's article and soft-split it between examples from the book and the film-within-the-book, turning the stub into a redirect for the book's page.
I know indexes are effectively a free launch anyway, but Audience Contempt was quietly launched and... it's not great?
I mean, other than the fact that the name doesn't make it clear it's an index, its one line description has incorrect grammar as of the very first word and the tropes listed are all over the place. A few seem appropriate (Straw Fan, or example) but others like Have a Nice Death seem completely unrelated and others (such as Viewers Are Morons) seem pretty YMMV on the "contempt" part.

Unlaunched Power Dynamic Kink, paging ~Just Troper. Also, this one is a fetish trope so we need to keep an eye on it for one-handed writing.
Unlaunched Audience Contempt, paging ~Cosmic Ghost. Needs grammar work and 24 hour notice and we don't make indexes just because.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
An "Audience Contempt" index sounds entirely like a call for free-for-all bitching from entitled fans. I can imagine few pages we'd want less.
I thought I did enough to get the trope launched. I did wait 3 days, had a net number of hats, and I made sure the trope was proofread and formatted correctly. And yes, as people have said, I also did make sure it was 24 hours.
