 * Keep, and whack the nominator with a wet trout. The subject is easily verifiable, even in the external links that were provided, one of them being from NASA's website. It took me just a few minutes to gather other references that reliably explain the details of thought stopping. I've added a references section under which they are now listed. Obviously, the nominator must not have been at all interested in the subject, because he apparently did not even google it. The Transhumanist 11:11, 11 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep, agree there seems to be plenty of references. I would however suggest considering merging with Thought suppression - these seem to me to be the same thing to me at first glance. Derek Andrews (talk) 11:14, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thought stopping appears to be a specific method of thought suppression, but it is a notable cognitive behavioral therapy in its own right. There are other more general forms of thought suppression. The Transhumanist 11:46, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
