Non-notable software. Subject has not been featured in multiple mainstream news sources, and the article presents no inherent notability. I've noticed a thread that almost all these articles were created by Atlassian, who seems to be spamming Wikipedia for promotional reasons. Delete.

Speedy keep: You've got almost all facts wrong. Bitbucket isn't "software", it's a website. The article couldn't have been created by Atlassian, it was created[1] before Bitbucket was even bought[2] by Atlassian. And it is the subject of plenty of independent articles: [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]. -- intgr [talk] 20:27, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Wikipedia's own comparison of the popularity of project hosting sites shows that Bitbucket is three times more popular than Codeplex, based on the number of projects it hosts, and about a third as popular as SourceForge. Neither the articles about Codeplex nor about SourceForge are being considered for deletion. Also, speaking as a professional software developer, Bitbucket is well known amongst developers. It is one of the big four sites: GitHub, SourceForge, Google Code and Bitbucket, although I would say it is the least popular of the four. It is notable, regardless of who wrote the article.

Keep, numerous articles about it from reputable third party sources on top of the ones mentioned above, and as usual it took longer for me to copy-and-paste the URLs and titles than it did for me to find them:
