Custom software

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unreferenced article. Badly written article that barely scratches the surface of a topic that is way more complex than this. I'd say having no article is better than having what is there right now.

 * Redirect to umm something... I have a hard time believing that there isn't a better article on this under a different term. That being said, this article, as it stands, is next to useless.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  18:59, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment I have removed some of the useless information from the article. (A possible merge target is custom software development.) OSbornarfcontributionatoration 01:54, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Reverse redirect, custom software development to custom software. It's certainly a notable concept, and the cleaned up custom software isn't so awful. There are a couple dozen links between the two pages; seems worth keeping one of them around. --Pnm (talk) 00:31, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep and merge/redirect custom software development to custom software, per Pnm. Any problems with this stub are not due to a lack of notability. --Lambiam 01:35, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * 'Redirect to Bespoke, subsection on Software. If at sometime there is more content it can be a standalone article.  Sea photo Talk  01:42, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Significant industry concept appropriately described, but reads as more of a dictionary definition. Could be expanded into a proper article. Please also note that the term and concept "bespoke" are unknown to Americans and therefore a redirect to that article is not necessarily a good idea.
