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.

Dying Moment Of Funny — Trope stub that needs a YKTTW or just a cut.
Interrogation Montage isn't a crash, but it seems to have a rather short description and examples list, and launched with 4 hats.

Oppression anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere.Dying Moment Of Funny: I say cut without prejudice (if someone wants to take it to YKTTW, they can).
Interrogation Montage: Barely viable, I think it could really benefit from more YKTTW. Send it back.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.Funny Terrain Cross Section - no hats, 2 sentence description, 7 examples, 1 index and no wicks
Vote back to YKTTW.
That's my feeling too.
The Lady And The Vamp bypassed YKTTW - it seems to be nothing more than a short list of het vampire romances disguised as a trope. I'd say cut it.

I'd say cut and PM the creator about YKTTW, so they can take it there if they want to.
^ Fire, kill with. Ugh, so much wrong in one little writeup.
All your safe space are belong to TrumpCut and PM the creator about how to write a real [work?] page.
Oppression anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere.Looks like a character page, which is only one part of my "so much wrong" comment.
All your safe space are belong to TrumpI think it's actually a videogame.
Fight smart, not fair.Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights
Looks like it's about that video game ie a work page, but it might still be a character page.
Moralistic Fallacy has been created with no YKTTW and doesn't have any examples either.
"Learning without thinking is labor lost. Thinking without learning is dangerous."I'm not really seeing the tropiness, so to speak, of either, even after reading the trope to which it's supposed to be an antonym.
All your safe space are belong to TrumpNo YKTTW, no examples, no index, no reason to keep it around. +1 to axe it.
"Polite life will fill you full of cancer." - Iggy Pop "I've seen the future, brother, it is murder." -Leonard CohenI stumbled upon a work page that seemed rather incomplete. Demon Envy has a stub for a description, and merely a single trope listed. I have no familiarity with the work in question, so I'm not of much help in expanding it.

Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.Get rid of it. Seriously, sliding scales are a nightmare.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerEchoing Lu's sentiments, and noting the lack of an index, no apparent YKTTW, and a spelling error in the title to boot. +1 to torch.
Edit: Also probably ought to bring up The Homer linked on the page. No YKTTW, only 2 examples (one of which is a ZCE), bad name, stub of a description, no index.

"Polite life will fill you full of cancer." - Iggy Pop "I've seen the future, brother, it is murder." -Leonard CohenYup, cut and don't send back to YKTTW.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.Chucked it on the cutlist. I only mentioned it here because a) I had to attend other business and b) to get enough votes for its cut.

It's a work page in the wrong namespace and needs a lot of other work, but that's not really our purview. Works pages are only required to have a description and three tropes; they should really only be brought here if they're lacking one of those. Otherwise, just PM the creator.
