The term "scriptural reasoning" gets around 8,000 Google hits, many of which are not actually about this topic but simply occurrences of "scriptural" and "reasoning" together. The subject exists, it was promulgated in 1995 by the Society for Scriptural reasoning, but the article itself cites no real sources independent of that society, and is heavily WP:OWNed by user:scripturalreaosning, who claims that his organisaiton are sole owners of the name "Scriptural Reasoning". The article itself is an atrocious mess, as you'd expect given the WP:COI / WP:SPA issues (virtually every edit is a conflicted SPA or a Wikipedian trying to clean up after them and being resisted) combined with a religious topic, that is not really a surprise. It also reads as a mix of WP:OR and WP:HOWTO, with a liberal sprinkling of promotion over the top. I have no idea whether this can actually be rendered down to a decent article, but this certainly is not one, it looks like a job for Wikipedia:Delete the junk to me. The edit warring of the WP:SPA is enough of a problem even without his taking it off-wiki ( http://www.scripturalreasoning.org.uk/statement.pdf). Whether this is redeemable with a rewrite and topic-ban for user:Scripturalreasoning or not, I can't really tell, because the user has polluted the article and the talk page to such an extent as to make it virtually impossible to view the article in a context separate from his tendentiousness and disruption. One editor on ANI described it as "very much written from an insider perspective, and there's a lot of exposition that seems to be expand sourced statements in a loose OR way (akin to describing a tea-party and citing it to the Brewing Instructions on a teabag box)" - that sums it up perfectly.
