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.

Oh wow, it must have been unlaunched like...seconds after I posted. I only noticed it was rogue launched because it showed up on the main website page.

Unlaunched Open Air Driver has been unlaunched due to having less than 5 net hats + no launch notice]]

Oh, there you go lol. MacronNotes is just quick!
The Dungeon Crawler Action RPG index was stealth-launched. The draft is currently at net 2 hats, though I think one of the bombs might have come in after the launch.

My mistake!

Dungeon Crawler Action RPG has been sent back to the Trope Launch Pad due to being launched without a 24hr notice and for only having 2 net hats prior to being launched.
/mod hat off
^ I checked the votes and those bombs existed days before the draft was launched.

You can ignore me on this one if it's not an issue, but Wildfire Franchise just launched again.
Last night, when I noticed the launch notice, I asked if there was any response about making the trope No Recent Examples, Please! as a criteria for deciding examples since it was brought up in the comments multiple times, and if so, for how long. NitroIndigo said they'd deal with that after the trope launches and launched.
Is that ok? I feel like without the guidelines, the trope is going to get examples that'll need to be cleaned up in the mean time. Not the worst thing, but it certainly doesn't have to be a thing either if the trope was still in TLP.

That's not cool. You can't just force a launch when discussion like that is still ongoing.

And the ping didn't work.
~Nitro Indigo, the discussion concerns you.

I feel like a pest but Hero Stage Show launched just now and again, last night I added a comment addressing the language of the draft not clearly distinguishing what kind of trope it was. It went unaddressed (neither to refute, agree, or challenge it)
(she/her)
~Rock Raider: Can you please respond to amathieu13’s concerns on this thread?
^^Sorry, I thought I addressed that when I removed the word "common" from it. And again, I feel this trope can apply to both the stage shows themselves, and any instance where the protagonist has to get involved in them.
Ok, sorry about that. Given the genre, I thought you were making the trope more like Soap Within a Show, but it seems like you think of it more like School Festival or High-School Dance.
From that perspective, I see what you're going for.

Sorry. I thought that we should decide whether Wildfire Franchise should be on NREP after it was launched, since I barely got responses on the thread.
You can always go the the TLP Workstation Thread to drum up some attention for unresolved issues. Discussion activity on the drafts themselves can get pretty sparse.
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
Is there any reason to keep this draft on hold instead of discarding it? The bomb number is pretty hard to overcome, and since there's literally nothing to preserve here anyone can make a new version with actual effort.
Also, can we please get this one discarded?
(she/her)
I discarded the second one. I’ll ask the other mods for input on the hold on Whateverborn.

Mock OS stealth-launched with lingering concerns (such as the unnecessary soft-split).
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Somehow, I knew that was going to happen when I got entirely ignored.

MocOS has been unlaunched due to being rogue launched without a launch date + unanswered concerns regarding the draft.

Could you transfer the most recent version of the Mock Os page to the draft somehow? It was improved quite a bit, but I don't think anyone considering transferring.
Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)

I transferred the contents from the deleted page to the draft.
Macron's notes
Was the launch of Barbarous Barbary Buccaneers announced? I distinctly remember there was a note "No hats mode" at the top when I last looked at it (like the sponsor themself didn't think the draft was ready to launch), and now suddenly it's launched.
Let's just say and leave it at that.

It doesn't seem like it...

Did they? It appears to be open, unless that unlaunch happened really fast.
