"Classics" has nothing to do with how good a pasta is or whether it deserves recognition. That's what Suggested Reading is for. Classics is an archival section meant for encyclopedic purposes, not for quality reading. And we have to be very strict about what gets in in order to maintain the section's relevance. Only those with explosions of popularity and dozens, if not hundreds of spinoffs qualify.

The big examples. There are some others, but not many.

There are several kinds of classic stories. The monster ones, and then the original style short stories. Something akin to campfire tales like Across the Border.
