No sources and little content. Maybe merge to Cocktail, but with no source I don't see the point. Kendall-K1 (talk) 20:02, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cocktail as a plausible search term. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 21:46, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Cocktail - Agreed, it would be a viable search term. - Pmedema (talk) 22:58, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above - if a source for "classic cocktail" as a term for drinks from that period can be found we might want to add in that titbit, otherwise everything is well covered there. Artw (talk) 01:37, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect per above - Classic cocktail is a vague term. Generally, in bar-tending circles, it refers to a cocktail with a simple formula well laid out in The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks wikipedia page. Presently, the term has expanded to incorporate modern 'classics' like a Cosmopolitan or Long Island Iced Tea. Definitely agree with redirecting to Cocktail. --GarrettK43087 (talk) 21:01, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Do you have a source for that? Looks like we're headed for a redirect, and I'd like to put something at the target article, but right now this article is completely unsourced. Kendall-K1 (talk) 02:39, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

 * See WP:R #3 and WP:R #8. No source is needed, and you don't have to put anything in the target. That would be a merge with redirect, not a redirect. For a redirect, all we need is that someone might plausibly search for "classic cocktail". --Guy Macon (talk) 02:31, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
