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.

Perhaps around 2-3 pages of edits; also it would also help if we put a minimum on how old an account must be before starting a TLP as well, like say 2-6 months.

Good idea
How sweet it is
Sending stub notifier for Franchise.Devilman. Also informing the creator about NWML.

Was Blackground stealth launched?
Angry babby
They did mention launching it but I don't think they set a date. This concerns me only because the description is video-game-specific when the examples are not.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
Is Named By A Later Installment rogue launched? The page's creator is not the draft's sponsor.

Paging ~Amuck Cricetine, ~Stevebob, ~Chrononaut 70, and ~Strix Obscuro to help me on dewicking unlaunched page. I am currently in mobile right now, so my editing process is limited.

Correction on one of the tropers' names.
Paging ~Amuck Cricetine to dewick links for Named By A Later Installment for being rogue launched.

Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
We're gonna need more voices on Alas, Poor Robot. The sponsor wants to launch and is starting to get really snappy about the issues people are presenting, claiming everything has already been fixed when that's definitely not true.

Deranged Park Ranger needs more examples and input on the draft. Nobody has raised any quality concerns.
Angry babby
I know it's been dormant for ages, I think Gushing About Guest Stars was technically stealth launched. ~Drakos 25 adopted it this past week, but they never said when they planned to launch the draft. It did previously have an outdated April launch notice, but after it was put up for grabs a few months ago, I pointed out a few concerns with some examples that were not fixed even after the draft was adopted.
My issues might be super minor so I'm not insisting it be unlaunched, but it might be worth discussing anyway.

^Sorry about that. When I said I was "taking it over" I thought it was clear that I was intending to launch it. My apologies for that not being clear in my statement.
Angry babby
"Taking it up" is usually interpreted as adopting a draft, not immediately launching it. You gotta let people know exactly when you wanna launch the draft, so they can give you any feedback before it's too late. The draft's mostly good but you didn't respond to my issues with a couple examples.
^ I've deleted the complainy Simpsons entry you mentioned on the launch version. As for the Big Bang Theory one, it didn't seem particularly at issue in my opinion. Though I suppose I could still delete or
As discussed in this IP thread, The Defroster looks like a prematurely launched trope that is redundant as it overlaps too much with Defrosting the Ice Queen.
Angry babby
I didn't want it deleted, just rewritten to get rid of words like "infamous" and "Seasonal Rot" that weren't necessary to explain the basic trope. It still fits the trope, it was just written up in a complainy way.
Better keep an eye on this stub draft. It's quickly attracting bombs at a fast rate, and popcorning may soon follow.
Lost in Space
Very Spooky
I'd recommend discarding this draft as well. It's already gotten 17 bombs, it seems to be redundant with That One Level, and OP abandoned it right after creating it.
Lost in Space
Hereditary Suicide seems to have been stealth launched.
Nah, it had a launch notice.
That does sound like a decent idea. I think we need to determine what the limit should be though.
