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. Biker Biker (talk) 17:38, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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. Sven Manguard Wha? 18:59, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have removed some of the useless information from the article. (A possible merge target is custom software development.) OSborn^arf_{contributionatoration} 01:54, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

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. Seaphoto^Talk 01:42, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
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.
