No assertion of notability. Why is it significant that a game uses SDL? Without an affirmative answer to this question, this falls under WP:NOTDIR. This is not a defining feature of video games that warrants a list. Axem Titanium (talk) 20:10, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Per nom, little more to add. This is a not defining trait and rarely commented on by secondary sourcing. Middlewares like this are so common we almost never mention them in prose and they are explicitly excluded from infobox video game. -- ferret (talk) 21:06, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. SDL is ubiquitous, having a list for the literal thousands of games that use it seems unnecessary and is unlikely to be properly sourcable. IceWelder [✉] 21:28, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Some of the more notable and well-referenced examples could be merged to Simple_DirectMedia_Layer#Video_game_examples_using_SDL, which would probably be more useful if it had less obscure titles. Right now they seem to have been chosen based on whether or not they had copyleft screenshots, not whether or not they're notable or representative.
