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.

...Okay, and there's another stealth launch with Choose a Handicap and this one wasn't even indexed. I sent a notifier before looking at the draft.
What is up with the TLP today?

All right, How do you bring back the "Moral Ambiguity Decrease" trope, as well as index it?
So that’s all you say? WarJay told you many times that you weren’t following peoper TLP etiquette. The draft had one net hat (probably from you), issues with the description, and you were edit banned anyway.

It can’t be “brought back” until another sponsor adopts it, fixes all of its issues, and launches it properly. Since you’re suspended, it’s out of your hands now.

Choose a Handicap has been unlaunched due to being published without a 24hr launch notice.
I'lll transfer the latest version of the page to the draft.

Yeah, Orror, you got a TLP ban now. The draft is no longer yours to work on or launch (and it was never yours to launch in the first place since you can't physically launch things). Go to Edit Banned if you want to discuss it; I told you all the issues at the TLP and in my pinged post, so I don't have much more to say.

Alright. I will continue the discussion there. As this continues to unfold I may message you personally regarding any questions about moving forward.
Discarded and Feeling Blue
Alright, no problem.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
My apologies, I was unaware of the new 24-hour notice rule. Once the draft is a week old and I have crosswicked and indexed the page I will give the notice.

You have to do those things after it's launched. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
Small Parent, Huge Child was launched without notice. Also didn't address my point about the Real Life section just being PSOC.
There was a launch notice. The sponsor added “launching today” to the title. You comment did go unaddressed, though.

Well, "today" isn't 24hrs so... not sure if that really counts?
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
i didn't see it when i looked through the editing history to check. still, launch notices are supposed to be minimum 24 hrs. posting "launching today" and launching today is not 24 hrs.

So this never got resolved.

I didn't check into the thread after I unlaunched the other three drafts that day so I missed this one.
Anyways, Small Parent Huge Child, has been unlaunched due to not having a 24hr launch notice + unaddressed concerns regarding the real life section of the trope.
Taking The Fight Outta Town launched with no launch notice. I double checked the comments and draft history and neither have been added to or edited since January

Ughhh. As I asked above, what is up with the TLP lately?

Macron's notes
My mistake, I had misread the TLP guidelines and assumed the 24hr notice should be given in the comments under the Trope proposal, which I had done a while ago. I've put the notice in the title just now - sorry about that.
The sponsor of Lawyer-Friendly Super Bowl fully intends to launch it tomorrow despite it being short on examples. Don’t know where else to put this.
Edited by PurpleEyedGuma on Feb 12th 2022 at 3:25:42 PM
^I think your link is wrong.
But other than that, yeah the sponsor has been told several times they don't meet the minimums to launch and are actively choosing to ignore that
ETA: fwiw, this troper has had issues before with getting launch happy with drafts. I recognized the username from the Mourning a Dead Robot saga from last year.

Nintendo Fanatic Extraordinaire
Disney Owns This Trope essentially covers everything Lawyer Friendly Super Bowl covers and more.
More than half of the examples of Lawyer Friendly Super Bowl are just people calling the NFL championship game "Superb Owl." Not just that, but the phenomenon also happens with other major sporting events, such as the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup, both of which also happen this year. Oh, and Disney Owns This Trope also contains these other sporting events.
It's essentially The Same But More Specific version of Disney Owns This Trope.

Kirby is awesome.

I responded to that question the draft, so we should probably discuss it there.
