This is not a widespread term and doesn't pass WP:GNG. Doing a search comes up with other uses, everything from aquarium rocks to drugs. Rusf10 (talk) 04:46, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Phosphorite. LizardJr8 (talk) 14:57, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unless the term is added (and referenced) to Phosphorite; if this is done, then redirect. Right now the term 'dryrock' is not mentioned in that other article, and the current article is unreferenced, so WP:EASTEREGG applies. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:22, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I am actually not finding much at all that actually uses the term "dryrock" in the context that the article describes, so there are no references in reliable sources that support any of the information in the article. As mentioned by the nom, the phrases "dryrock" and "dry rock" are used to describe a multitude of different things. A redirect as suggested would not be appropriate since, as mentioned, the term is not actually used in the target article at all, and there are no sources to indicate that it is actually a term that should be used there.
