The result was delete. Consensus that there isn't suitable for sourcing for this, once the same-name subject is factored out. FOLLOW-UP: Backlinks have not be processed due to the some cross-linking with YoYo's making it non-viable to remove them through the comparatively blunt backlink remover Nosebagbear (talk) 19:20, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

GameMaker

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An unnotable piece of software failing WP:GNG and WP:NSOFT. The only sources currently in the article are the software's own website, an interview with an unconnected individual, and a download proxy site. A WP:BEFORE turns up no results in Google Scholar or WP Video games' custom search engines, as well as no reliable sources through a regular Google search. GameMaker has been discontinued nine years ago, wherefore it is doubtful that there will be any new sources soon. When looking for sources, note that there is another software by that name that is still active and, from a quick glance, notable. IceWelder &#91; &#9993; &#93; 18:25, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete, per nom - at first I thought this was the game engine by YoYo Games and was about to write a "strong keep" post, but yeah, this unrelated software just does not seem to be covered in any RSs and does not meet WP:GNG.--AlexandraIDV 21:17, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * DELETE I feel the exact same way as the Alexandra, saw it and felt the same way then realized it was a different bit of software. No signs of notability.   D r e a m Focus  06:34, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
