Seems to fail WP:N (or WP:NBOOK). I cannot find significant coverage about this document or statement in unaffiliated reliable sources to meet notability criteria. For example, found nothing significant in gBooks hits. Novaseminary (talk) 07:48, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rename and repurpose to an article on the Strict Baptists, which at present redirects to Reformed Baptists. We also have a List of Strict Baptist Churches. We ought to have an article on the denomination, linked to the present brief section in the Reformed article. The article under discussion would provide a section for that, and the present title could then become a redirect to that. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:46, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Strict Baptists was merged into Reformed Baptists as a result of this discussion. St Anselm (talk) 22:53, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, and I think that merge was good. And I don't know that this 1966 document is important enough to justify any significant portion of that article. Nor do we know the document is important enough to the broader group or related to a broad enough group of the "Strict Baptists" to avoid a redirect being misleading or confusing. That redirect could also be confusing because some similarly named documents are notable in their own right (1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, Category:Baptist statements of faith) even if this one is not.
