It's a redirect, so a hatnote will do (that is, if it's necessary at all; the very fact it isn't listed on the DAB page suggests it may not be). Nardog (talk) 09:09, 12 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oppose, especially the proposals to redirect Bee's knees to the cocktail. The idiom is the primary topic. Just because a primary topic doesn't have a Wikipedia page doesn't make something else with a page the primary topic. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:14, 18 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Question: I see the discussion on the talk page, but is it actually officially in our Manual of Style that we do not capitalize cocktail names? Rreagan007 (talk) 02:57, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Not specifically, as far as I know, or we probably wouldn't have needed all those other previous discussions that I referenced. But like I said, these are not proper names and are not trademark names, and I again refer to that long list of other recent RMs (some of which involved multiple article titles) and the WP:MOSCAPS talk page discussion. This is also consistent with not capping dance names, like Viennese waltz, and with not capping non-trademarked game names, like Snakes and ladders. — BarrelProof (talk) 03:03, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Right, I think this is a very effective argument. When we don't have a specific consensus (cocktail names), we should look to as close as possible analogous topics. Like dances, or classic board games, or other such things which are not branded or proper nouns, but are individual nouns. Our MOSCAPS tells us pretty explicitly not to capitalize things like that, and consensus has gone that way. I'm honestly having a hard time finding analogous things which are usually in title (proper noun?) case around here...Maybe Go (the game), or chess openings like Queen's Gambit? But even those are more the exception than the rule. — Shibbolethink(♔♕)19:19, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Out of ten sites I checked, one recommended Barr Hill gin, others had different recommendations (most frequently, i.e. twice, Beefeaters but pretty much every site recommended something else like Gordon's, Hayman's, Hendrick's, Rieger's, Tanqueray, Gunpowder Irish, Silent Pool, Monkey 47, Broker's, Boodles, Bombay, Malfy, Aviation). I see no reason to sort out Barr Hill this prominently as if it were notably often recommended. --2003:C9:471D:E900:A9D1:5758:8EE1:8EAF (talk) 08:44, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
