I don't really see a point to this category. New monsters are no longer especially noteworthy; and there aren't equivalent categories for new weapons, or new powerups, or new decorations, or new textures or whatever else would fit in the same ballpark as new monsters. --Gez 08:48, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

On reflection, I agree.  New textures in particular would be an enormous category conveying no useful information (given that individual textures would be described in the WAD article itself), and new pickups are far easier to create than they once were.  If a WAD pioneered a certain type of resource conversion, that too should be mentioned in the article of course.  Delete.    Ryan W 05:23, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

No refutation of any of these arguments after several months, so the category has been deleted.    Ryan W 23:33, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
