It seems to me as if there is no good reason to have a separate article at [[Incremental build model]]. --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] ([[User talk:Slashme|talk]]) 12:32, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
: There is a naming problem here, not just an overlap for merging. What's a "build model"? IMHE (not actually that humble, this has been my day job for years), a "build model" is a manufacturing process within software development, as for [[software build]]. The design process is not referred to under that same name. So the article we have at [[Incremental build model]] talks about the design evolution, just as this article at [[Iterative and incremental development]], and it's sourced by sources that don't apply the term "build" to it either. It's thus a good target for merging, and the name isn't appropriate to preserve as a redirect.
: If we are to have an article on [[incremental build]], then this should be (probably a redirect to a section within [[software build]]) an article on the build technique of building by incremental compilation of changed modules, and the need to manage their inter-dependencies. It's a good topic, but it's then of little relation to [[Iterative and incremental development]]. [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] ([[User talk:Andy Dingley|talk]]) 11:44, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
