This is original research article with no encyclopaedical value  Arthistorian1977 (talk) 08:17, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The page has a lot of issues but I can't really agree that it isn't an encyclopedic topic - given the number of philosophers and others who have written on it. It seems to me to be a notable subject alongside Leap of faith etc. JMWt (talk) 08:43, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Religion and Spirituality. Shellwood (talk) 08:48, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It is the subject of a number of scholarly works, like this one and this one from the citations, and it has been written about for a long time by notable figures. It seems to me the subject meets WP:N guidelines. I welcome efforts to improve the article. Jno.skinner (talk) 15:24, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Update: for clarity I am the originator of this article; I'm not sure if my voice counts in this discussion. I have added a lot of sources since the article was nominated for deletion. I am kind of scared that something I worked so hard on to the best of my ability might be deleted for reasons I don't fully understand. I have reached out to Arthistorian1977 asking for more specific feedback on improvements but I have heard nothing back. Jno.skinner (talk) 05:05, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * A crisis of faith seems to be an encyclopedic topic to me, as much has been written about the exact idea of a "crisis of faith" or "faith crisis". The content is not covered by Spiritual Crisis, which states the event is caused by a spiritual experience, as opposed to a "crisis of faith", which seems to be associated with direct life experiences or new information gained in contradiction to deeply held beliefs or communally held beliefs, for example, Holocaust Theology. It doesn't seem that no page should exist to discuss this topic, but I agree it would benefit from some edits. Any suggestions on edits, additions, deletions, or else to improve the quality? There's a wealth of books to select from to bulk up, modify, or support claims. Lizard Commissioner (talk) 22:02, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

 * The topic is certainly encyclopedic. Keep or merge with spiritual crisis. Also note that deletion is WP:NOTCLEANUP. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:36, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nominator has not justified deletion. Srnec (talk) 21:03, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
