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.

This draft
is bugged somehow (I reported it on the Bugs query), but it may need to be locked to prevent popcorning.
Dark Warrior was created last year, but has only two tropes both of which are Zero-Context Examples.
I sent a message to the troper
who created the page, 9 days ago but they haven't responded.
Was the trope Baldness Means Sickness rogue or stealth launched? I'm asking because the trope description starts with "Stop saying please stop vandalizing the pages and answer me!"
At the very least, it's either page vandalism or something else odd. Just wondering.
Was Static Screw launched prematurely? It was only proposed three days ago and I don't see any evidence of a launch date in the comments or history.

According to ~Mae Bea in the IP thread for the trope
, it wasn't just stealth launched, it was rouge launched, with the user ~Mitzo having done the deed.
Only One Save File was launched but it only had 4 net hats on the TLP

The bomb was added after the launch announcement. ~MaLady, did you not notice?
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Yep. Didn't catch that.
Go ahead and unlaunch, if needed. Might as well tune the description some more, with new inspiration.

The TLP draft I was working on, Corny Nebraska, was rogue launched.
EDIT: I took a look at the recent launches
, and it looks like the troper rogue launched a bunch of other drafts.
EDIT 2: PurpleEyesGuma pointed it out below while I was typing my first edit.

I noticed a few seconds ago that they also launched Too Soon, even though the title violates No New Stock Phrases.

Multiple things, outlined on TLP Guidelines crossed with the hunch of the sponsor. That's irrelevant though because people can't launch drafts they don't sponsor ever (except in rare circumstances).

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallShadao:
- There are at least five net hats. But preferably as many hats and as few bombs as possible.
- The description is good at telling people what the trope is about.
- The draft has enough examples and guaranteed assorted wicks to reach a minimum Standing status by the time all examples are crosswicked and other links are provided.
- The trope's name is supported, or at least doesn't face objections.
- If an image and a quote are added, then they should be supported.}
EDIT: Massively ninja'd.
