Seems to be a non-notable software platform. Can not find much discussion outside of primary sources on Google. Only trivial or incidental coverage on StackOverflow.com. Does not meet the WP:GNG. Pol430 talk to me 15:11, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned on User talk:Pol430... like most of the software platforms/tool, BuildMaster is most certainly notable within its own niche (some have argued that the niche itself is non-notable and should be merged into single paragraphs on the software engineering page), and virtually all of these are single-sourced from the project's own website or from paid listings and press releases. If these articles are unacceptable on Wikipedia, then most niche articles (see Comparison of issue-tracking systems, Comparison of revision control software, Comparison of project management software, etc) should be deleted too.Atpapa (talk) 16:05, 28 December 2011 (UTC)— Atpapa (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Delete. I agree, there's nothing to be found in the Google results and nothing offered by the article itself. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG. Msnicki (talk) 20:48, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - No coverage in reliable sources. I fail to see what "niche" this software is supposed to be notable in. -- Whpq (talk) 17:52, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
