*'''Keep''' the article sucks, but we have at least one book on the subject by a major scholar in Biblical hermeneutics published by a major academic publisher - ''David F. Ford, "An Interfaith Wisdom: Scriptural Reasoning between Jews, Christians and Muslims" in David F. Ford and C.C. Pecknold, The Promise of Scriptural Reasoning (Malden, MA / Oxford: Blackwell Publishing, 2006)'' that alone means an article is possible.--[[User:Scott MacDonald|Scott Mac (Doc)]] 23:03, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' - As noted by the creator of this article, sources which are not third party do not count. The book you just described, as noted by the creator, is obviously affiliated with the subject matter, and therefore does not count as a source, or grounds for notability.— '''[[User:Daedalus969|<fontspan colorstyle="Greencolor:green;">Dæ</fontspan>]][[User talk:Daedalus969|dαlus]]<sup> [[Special:Contributions/Daedalus969|<fontsup colorstyle="Greencolor:green;">Contribs</fontsup>]]</sup>''' 23:54, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
:* However, as I mentioned above, there are plenty of books findable not by David Ford. In addition, Ford's books are ''real'' books published by academic presses like Oxford University Press, not Lulu-published stuff to be dismissed as sources.

*'''delete''' No unaffiliated sources provided means no notability.--[[User:Crossmr|Crossmr]] ([[User talk:Crossmr|talk]]) 00:30, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
**Bullshit. A number of notable scholars start using a term, and stating what they mean by it. They are published in mainstream academic series, which publish only serious scholarship. There is absolutely no reason for us not to record that these people are using the term, and what they define it to mean. All of that can be done neutrally and verifiably. If we don't have any critical assessment, then the article need not give any assessment, it can stick to self description of the methodology. Seriously, anyone arguing otherwise knows nothing about hermeneutics as a discipline. There is absolutely no basis in policy to delete this.--[[User:Scott MacDonald|Scott Mac (Doc)]] 14:31, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' and work on NPOV. this is essentially a pawn in dispute between two groups about which if either of them own the term. This is settled by editing by some neutral people, not by deleting. If after a good effort by unaffiliated editors it is concluded to be impossible to find actual sources, that's another matter--but the present contentious state of the article does not mean we should delete it to save the trouble.

*'''Delete''' as nominated. [[User:Xdenizen|X MarX the Spot]] ([[User talk:Xdenizen|talk]]) 03:14, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
*'''Strong Keep''' A Google News search appears to support the article's merits: [http://news.google.co.uk/archivesearch?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&hs=vBw&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=%22scriptural+reasoning%22]. This type of article would benefit from a rewrite. [[User:Pastor Theo|Pastor Theo]] ([[User talk:Pastor Theo|talk]]) 00:04, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' [[User:EagleFan|EagleFan]] ([[User talk:EagleFan|talk]]) 01:55, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' per [http://books.google.com/books?sa=N&hl=en&tab=np&q=%22Scriptural%20reasoning%22 Goggle Books] and above sources and send to [[WP:CLEANUP]] to address POV and COI. Since the article can be corrected to meet standards, it should be.

*'''delete''' Original research with no sources. --[[User:Sloane|Sloane]] ([[User talk:Sloane|talk]]) 19:00, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
