Hanky-Panky cocktail → Hanky panky (cocktail) – Most of the sources don't include a hyphen (and none of the other Hanky Panky topics do either), and the word "cocktail" is not really part of the name, and most articles about cocktails don't have the word "cocktail" at the end of their titles (see the List of cocktails, for example). Also suggesting lowercase per recent discussions at Talk:Donkey punch (cocktail), Talk:Long Island iced tea, Talk:Black and tan, Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Capitalise cocktail names?, Talk:Black velvet (cocktail), and Talk:List of cocktails. Linguistically speaking, this is not a proper name, and it is also not a trademark name. The capitalization also violates MOS:HYPHENCAPS. See also the ongoing RM at Talk:Bee's Knees. — BarrelProof (talk) 06:34, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

- Support: It's a common noun, like a lot of other things with names. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 03:34, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- Move to Hanky-panky (cocktail). The hyphen is necessary. Shwcz (talk) 12:07, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
- Why do you think the hyphen is necessary? As noted, most of the sources don't include a hyphen (and none of the other Hanky Panky topics do either). — BarrelProof (talk) 17:49, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
- MOS:HYPHEN. Shwcz (talk) 11:42, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
- Which part of MOS:HYPHEN? That title does not involve a prefix or a compound modifier. — BarrelProof (talk) 11:53, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

- Support per MOS:ACTCAPS, which covers all terminology in "modern folklore" activities, like games, sports, dancing, and, yes, social drinking. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 07:22, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
