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.

So, "Everyone Is Gone" Episode had 4 bombs against 6 hats, which means it needs around 9 hats to fit in the "needs to have 5 more hats than bombs rule". Also, it may have been stealth launched as I see no notice in the draft's history or in the replies. Tagging ~Mae Bae.
EDIT: Corrected to say 9 hats.

Don't you mean 9 hats? If it has 4 bombs and 6 hats, then I'd need 9 hats to reach the minimum required amount of 5 nets.
Or was it a mistake and you meant to say 4 hats and 6 bombs?

I think that's what I meant on the nine hats thing. I suck at math.

It should be nine hats.

I know, I have been informed. Please focus on the fact "Everyone Is Gone" Episode hasn't been launched with 9 hats.
Not that it is that important given the insufficient hats, but it also didn't have a launch announcement.

I have transferred the edits to the draft, save for the page image which was of low resolution.

Was Pronouncing My Name for You stealth launched? There’s a launch notice in the comments, but not the edit history.

Ah, OK.

Posting a launch notice in only the comments is fine.

Shell Of Impalement launched with a title that didn't really get much positive feedback, with other users preferring titles like "Spiny Shell." The sponsor originally chose the name that first won the crowner, but someone disagreed so they decided title crowners were "worthless" and just went with their own idea... which is odd cuz the current winner on the title crowner is much clearer. It wasn't a stealth launch but I feel like it needs more detail cuz the current name isn't that indicative and didn't make it as high on the crowner as the other two options.

Ouch, I have just crosswicked an example. I probably should have noticed this before doing that.

Unlaunch in that case.

So, ~Eviler Than Thou, you don't get to decide that democratic processes are worthless. That is not a power granted to you by God or whatever. Do that again and you get a TLP ban.

Not sure of it used TLP, but Shipping Forecast has only two tropes.

...is that thing even tropeable? From what I can tell, it's literally just a marine weather forecast, with no truly tropeable elements to it. If so, it could probably be moved to Useful Notes.
I was gonna say that it'd be like trying to trope The Weather Channel, but turns out, that page is a mess as well.

I thought so as well.

Yes, I reported it to Staff. I forgot to edit the launch date out before launching. We all have our days, I'm afraid.

IDK if this is the right place to bring this but...
Adaptational Cheerfulness Upgrade was launched. There were no issues with the launch, but the thing is there also happened to be a draft that shared the same concept. The sponsor of Adaptational Cheerfulness Upgrade, Tawnalover2019, mentioned that in the draft's replies. Both sponsors weren't sure what to do in this situation, but Tawna decided to go ahead with the launch.
IMO, either of them should've asked about this situation in Ask the Tropers, so I don't think it was wise on Tawna's part to launch their draft. I already DMed Tawna and gave them a link to this thread, but I can page them if needed.

I'll admit, I didn't know what to do in this situation. I thought that since my trope draft was almost done, and created before the other draft, I might as well launch it then and there.
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
Usually in that scenario I've seen drafts merge together, usually with the more established one becoming the official draft.

I see. What should I and the other guy do in this case?
In a lot of cases, you'll never get 10 votes because a lot of drafts only have a handful of people who stick around to do more than give an example.
