From Discord:

well here's my problem and why I accepted it
everything cannot be an "indie game"
IMHO it's not an indie game unless it's been published somewhere.
otherwise it's a redundant category for PC, TC, gameplay mod, etcetcetc
and becomes meaningless.
maybe the article needs to be renamed "Standalone games" if that's what you want it to consist of
and then in that case anything that still requires/consumes content from any of the commercial IWADs will need to be excluded by definition.

This article needs to be focused on one thing. If that thing is not the title of the article then we need to move it somewhere else, and then make sure its contents actually adhere to what it is called. --Quasar (talk) 16:22, 14 December 2022 (CST)

As mentioned before: Renaming it to "Standalone games" is fine by me and can cover the grunt of what this article in its intent was about (Namely: Every game that is selfcontained and does not require the Doom IWAD by any means possible. Some include a blank IWAD to make it standalone, which is perfectly fine aswell. Likely the name Indie games threw this off. --Redneckerz (talk) 16:09, 15 December 2022 (CST)
