message: *Rock is also urban slang for the ball used in the sport of basketball.
I added this to the culture section, what do you think?
:Is it really that common? I've never heard it before. I think it should be removed. Thoughts?

message: My issue with this article is that when someone searches "The rock" or "the rock" this page immediately comes up.  Whereas if someone searches "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson comes up.  Odds are that someone is looking for either Dwayne Johnson or the movie "The Rock".  If Dwayne Johnson is relevent enough to have his own redirect for "The Rock", why shouldn't he be on this list.  I understand you have a "Rock (name)" link, but the first or last name Rock is not nearly the same thing as the stage name "The Rock".  But, I won't make the edit unless nobody disagrees with me.TBWarrior720 (talk) 06:21, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You do have a point. I just don't want to see that section get out of control. I think I would be fine adding people known only as "Rock" (with or without "the"), and excluding people with rock as a first or last name. Ego White Tray (talk) 12:23, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: On a side note, for the last 18 months The Rock has bounced back and forth between Dwayne Johnson and Rock. I have added to a discussion at Talk:The Rock, which should probably be used to determine where The Rock should point. -Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 00:30, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dwayne Johnson should be mentioned specifically 

message: The usage of  is under discussion, see RfD for the discussion. It is suggested that it be repointed. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 06:34, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

message: I split of about half of the entries into The Rock (disambiguation). The entries all violated WP:PTM. Also, this page had become "inconveniently long" (WP:DPAGE). Paradoctor (talk) 12:43, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Rock (disambiguation) 

message: I think it doesn't make too much sense to keep nicknames and stage names apart. We should either move the nicknames here, or put stage names also into Rock (name). Paradoctor (talk) 08:34, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Proposing to add under Sports/Other that "rock" is a common nickname for a basketball. Chiefly used in AAVE but also adopted by basketball players of all races across the USA. 176.104.110.11 (talk) 14:08, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
