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!
My completely unscientific guess is that people whose handles are named after the site they're on are more likely to be joining any web site for the very first time ever, giving them relatively little experience with, like... learning community norms. "Lurking moar", as the four chan puts it.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Weaponized Tropes doesn't have many of the examples from comments.
And a short description, for all that it has 6 net hats and was sponsor launched.

Rock Raider just launched Robot and A.I. Works. My only gripe is that a lot of the suggested additions in the comments didn't get added, and they didn't explain the ones they left out.
Edit: Oh, it looks like they're doing it now instead. Huh...well, I guess that's fine then.

I was adding examples from the draft comments to Robot and A.I. Works, but then accidentally hit 'refresh' instead of 'new tab' and lost my work :| I guess I'll get back to it later.

Stopping the Blame Game was stealth-launched by the draft creator.

Someone seems to have intercepted the unlaunch with their edits.

Sky Heist is back it seems. Which is weird.
Industrious Incisors
Best I can tell, all procedures were followed for the launch of Master of the Levitating Blades. However, the grammar does not seem to be up to our standards, and it doesn’t seem like anyone called attention to that in the TLP.

I just realized Butts Are Funny was rogue launched.
Christmas Epilogue was stealth launched...
Man, lot of bad launches today.

Only Evil Can Die was stealth-launched. Does it look okay? One issue is that the sponsor left up an entry with cruddy grammar because they didn't know the work well enough to fix it.
Never mind, I'm poopy brained.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

No, the history says "Working Title: Only Evil Can Die (launching 2/15)"
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
Microphone Swinging was stealth-launched by the sponsor. My comment from nearly a year ago went completely unaddressed and I question whether "swinging a microphone for any reason" isn't People Sit On Chairs.

^Stealth-launched, my foot. I already announced that it was going to be launched. I'm not sure why it's still a concern of yours after nearly one year since its conception...
I can't deal with these forums; they anger up the blood too much.

At least you shouldn't have blatantly ignored it that time. Seriously, this is why I don't generally use arrows and just try to address all possible concerns, or at least consider them.

Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)
I take back my "stealth launched," I didn't check the history to see that it was in the title. That's why it's really useful to make a post about it.
That said, still didn't address my criticism. "Why do you still care about the thing that was never resolved?" is a strange position.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

Yeah, you're the sponsor. Before launching you have to make sure all concerns are adequately addressed or, ideally, flat out resolved.

Everything is Everything
Yeah, you're right. I guess I really had no answer to the question or rather, wasn't quite sure how to answer it. I didn't expect that it would mushroom into the discussion that it did. My sincerest apologies for the abrasive reaction. Is there a way to enhance it so that it's not just a vague PSOC, even if it has to go back to the launch pad?
I can't deal with these forums; they anger up the blood too much.
Perhaps the mic swing could be used as an element to show the character is cocky/fancy/dramatic?

I like that idea.

I added a few of the suggestions to the trope in the hopes of giving it more substance. Does it look more viable (and if not, I'm not against it going back to the pad)?

I think Network Finale was stealth launched. It's a good idea but I think it needed more time in the oven (it was only drafted a few days ago).
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
I have no idea, but there is definitely a correlation. Maybe using "trope" in your name is a symptom of a lack of imagination? Anyway...
