We show that the order-by-disorder entropy selection, associated with the Ising-like phase transition that appears for J(2)/J(1) > 1/2 in the pure spin model, is quenched at low temperature due to the presence of nonmagnetic impurities. Evidence that a new competing order is stabilized around the impurities and in turn induces a reentrance phase transition is reported. Implications for local magnetic measurement of the parent compound of iron pnictides are briefly discussed.text::journal::journal article::research article
