 * Delete and redirect to Staring contest, a much better treatment of the topic (though it itself is far from perfect). Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect per above. To be quite honest I'm surprised we even have a staring contest article. It seems like total OR at the moment in itself, and is completely inadequately sourced. Maybe we should consider that for deletion too.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 14:45, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the staring contest is a bit poo, but amazingly there are potentially reliable sources (like this one and this one). A Google Books search finds real books discussing staring contests as a kids' game, a psychological phenomena, an interview/interrogation technique, and an aspect of Sumo westling... and that was only the first page of results!  Thus, that article at least has potential.  This doesn't. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
