Either I'm too tired, but I don't know what this even is. An unremarkable...statement? Dengero (talk) 14:41, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as an example of WP:WEBHOST or Redirect to Church of Scotland due to insufficient justification as a separate article. PennyDancer (talk) 12:45, 27 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete or Redirect per PennyDancer. -- Scjessey (talk) 16:54, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. I have wikified the page, so it now answers the nominator's original question, but I agree that notability has not been demonstrated. It could have been significant at the time, but it's not currently mentioned in the Church of Scotland's web page Statements of the Church's faith which does have another 1992 statement in more traditional/formal language. The full text should probably not remain in the main English Wikipedia, but I have added it in Simple English Wikipedia: simple:Church of Scotland. - Fayenatic (talk) 20:48, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep While not a well known statement, its official acceptance by the Church of Scotland makes it notable, despite few web hits.  While not a standard on notability, the WP article Church of Scotland includes it as a major part of the section on theology. Hopefully more information on e.g. authorship etc will be forthcoming.

 * Comment: Inclusion in the Church of Scotland article carries no weight - it was only added there the day after this separate article was created; the editor was not logged in at the time, but the formatting edit immediately afterwards suggests that it was the same editor who made this page. – Fayenatic (talk) 20:09, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. Maybe when a book like Presbyterian Creeds: A Guide to the Book of Confessions is updated, it will include God's Invitation, just like it includes A Brief Statement of Faith. But maybe not. In any case, that would be crystal-balling. It may take its place among the creeds and confessions used by the Church, but there doesn't seem to any independent coverage of it now. 03:23, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect. If the statement's only claim to notability is its association with the Church of Scotland, that's where it belongs. As all the information is already in the CoS article, there isn't any real need for a separate article. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 09:10, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * A Redirect should be an acceptable course of action, as per CNS, but not a clean delete Fh1 (talk) 04:07, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support redirect -- However, since the confession is quoted in full, do we not have a COPY-VIO, or has the CoS made it public domain? Peterkingiron (talk) 16:29, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
