This is a thread for checking up on pages for works that have not been released yet, to make sure that they are not straying into rampant speculation or posting crazy behind the scenes spoilers. You can bring both individual examples or entire pages to attention here.
In extreme cases, any page can be locked, but hopefully that won't be necessary.
(As these pages often are hit with zero-context examples and shoehorning as well, all four - speculation, spoilers, ZCEs, and shoehorning may get addressed simultaneously.)
The policy governing this effort is Creating A Work Page For An Unreleased Work. Cleanup is being tracked using the Unreleased Works sandbox.
All pages for unreleased works should include a %% comment at the top of the page, confirming the policy and linking to this thread and the Administrivia page. It doesn't have to be exactly the same as the example provided here, but this provides a template to work with.
%% Speculative troping is not allowed on TV Tropes.
%%
%% We trope what DOES happen in works, not what MIGHT happen or is LIKELY to happen.
%%
%% For unreleased works where all we have to go on is advertising and other supplemental materials, we have some detailed guidelines, which can be found at Administrivia/CreatingAWorkPageForAnUnreleasedWork.
%%
%% NOTE - these rules also mean that unreleased works should only have one page image, and that image should NOT be changed again until the work is released.
%%
%% If you have questions, please consult the Unreleased Work Speculation Cleanup thread at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15514631230A64268600

%% Thank you.

Memetic Mutation could take a trip to the NREP thread.
I think Memetic Mutation should have a 1-week waiting period. That's usually enough time to determine if something became a meme or not.

1 week from what, though? That's the hard part.
Kamp Koral has only two uncited tropes and I can't find a trailer.
Only a teaser image has been released and no trailer, so there isn't a lot to trope. And the YMMV page consists entirely of complaining.

Is Zack Snyder's Justice League legit? So far there're just a poster a few stills.

Do we even need a separate page for that. Couldn't it be troped on the main justice league page ?
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

It's probably worth its own page, given that one of the links on the page says that the two will share ~10% of their footage. But yeah, it probably doesn't need a page until there's a trailer for it.
I'd lean more towards sharing a page since it's just a different cut, but if they manage to notably change the plot then I guess a new page could work.
Either way though, we need some more tropeable material, not just stills.

If treated as a wholly separate work, is it eligible for a page?
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
No. Films require both pre-release material and an officially announced release date/period.
Musician/Composer
Just to be sure, does that also apply to all TV series in general?

He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.
My Little Pony: Pony Life has been created and all the entries are speculative and ZCE.
- Animesque: Definitely looks that way, when compared to FIM.
- Denser and Wackier: Seems to be going for a more wackier tone than FIM, with details like Fluttershy having noodle arms in the teaser.
- Slice of Life: Accordingly will be, moreso than Friendship Is Magic was past its first few seasons.
- Spin-Off: Of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, announced a month after it ended. This show uses the same characters and world with a few twists.
- Two Shorts: The format of the show.
They are tropable stop motion shorts but no trailers for the show itself.
Leaving Serious Sam 4 here for reviewing. I'm not sure if I nailed everything as intended.
Fate: The Winx Saga has no trailer
Does it...just have an announcement tagline?
I checked, and there's also some casting announcements, but that's still way off an actual trailer.
I'm helping!
Evil Genius 2 just got created, and the description looks so much like an advertisement that on top of the obvious wrong tone I'm also concerned it might literally just be copied and pasted from an advertisement.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

So that definitely needs to get replaced with something that's not just copied from elsewhere.
... Describing works has never really been a skill I have, much less unreleased works, so I have no idea what to replace it with. Would just deleting the copied part be a worse problem than leaving it?
Also might as well ping ~Lord Araghast, who did the pasting.

Something else to note is that the edit reason with the page creation includes "As of the PC Gaming Show, it seems that this game is very likely to be released this year", which isn't phrased definitively.
As a reminder, the criteria for video games is "have pre-release material and release scheduling or gameplay footage."
I'm helping!
A gameplay footage trailer was released... I want to say earlier today? Time is fake to my ADHD brain, but I know it was pretty recent.

Ah, okay then. Then it's just a matter of fixing the description and improving the examples.
I'm Sad Frogerson.
I was directed here from an ATT query I made
, so correct me if this is the wrong place to post this.
I found an entry of He Panned It, Now He Sucks! regarding a critic admitting they're not looking forward to Zack Snyder's Justice League. Obviously, the film hasn't come out yet. So, is okay to list examples about people panning films that haven't come out yet? Or is it too premature to list such an example? Should a work actually be released to the public before we list examples?

Cut both of 'em.
