Listening Prayer

 * – ( View AfD View log )

personal essay without sourcing and with lots of odd attacks on "witchcraft prayer" and the like; speculative and unverifiable bundle of idiosyncratic assertions Orange Mike  &#x007C;  Talk  21:52, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment According to Google Books, this seems possibly to be a notable theological topic, with at least three books devoted to it. I am not in a position to judge whether the three books discuss the same topic, or just use the same words about different concepts.  I am also not prepared to rewrite the article, and OrangeMike's assessment of the current state of the article is correct.  Therefore, I will watch the debate, and recommend deleting the article later unless someone steps up to the plate and does a proper referenced rewrite.

 * Keep - The current article is in sad shape, but the concept of listening prayer appears to be covered in significant detail with an entire book devoted to the subject as well as books with chapters or sections devoted to covering it like these:, , . Also covered in religious media like , and . -- Whpq (talk) 14:46, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Despite being poorly written and unreferenced (except biblical citations), this has the potential to be a useful article. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:01, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
