There is an entry in the historical description of the G7 that is flat out wrong: "British Queen Elizabeth II was forced to broker a deal to form a minority government after a hung election, creating a situation so unstable that another election the same year had to take place." The British Monarch is apolitical and doesn't have the political authority to "broker" anything; much less the formation of a government. This phrase should be deleted at the very least. It was Harold Wilson who formed a minority government in October of that year. CPN 12:00, 10 June 2021 (UTC) — Preceding

G7 – G7 is the
WP:COMMONNAME of the subject. Per
MOS:ACROTITLE, "Acronyms should be used in a page name if the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject". This is the case here.

Support. Seems to be uncontroversial. Maybe put it up at
WP:RM/T instead? Regards

oppose What about the fact that there are a number of other G7's? We have a disambiguation page. So, shouldn't it be something like G7(international organization) or something, rather than G7 alone? Which G7 gets priority choice of G7 alone when there are numerous G7s?

There can be many but they require further clarification, unlike this one.

the G7 redirect and this page get the overwhelming majority of traffic for 'g7' related articles

Comment as OP. This should have probably gone through
WP:RM/T, I incorrectly believed this might be controversial. Maybe someone can do a
WP:SNOW close.

Not anymore since there is 1 oppose. This should be now closed by an uninvolved editor but not before 10 August.

Support - This is the common name, and since G7 already redirects here, there's already a consensus that this is clearly the primary topic.

Merger with G8 article
I have checked discussions in this and the G8 article, and I am unable to find the promised discussion on why or how it was decided not to merge them.
"G7" and "G8" do NOT refer to separate entities, they refer to a particular annual international forum, and there is no evidence that there ever were simultaneous, competing, G7 and G8 meetings. Allowing separate articles leads to confusion, and there is even a false and unsubstantiated claim that "they are two different entities" in the discussions:
/info/en/?search=Talk:G8#Dealing_with_duplicate_contents_with_G7
I re-suggest the two articles be merged. This is not impossible, as the French Wiki has already done so
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupe_des_sept_(%C3%A9conomie) . I believe that "G7" would be the best name for a merged article, but the final chosen name is not very important, since Wikipedia can easily redirect the user.

Agreed; however, the discussion pages on the
G7,
G8, and
G8+5 talk pages keep opening and closing at random times (which is only another reason as to why the pages should be merged). If we're able to find a solution for this, I'm sure we'll be able to merge the pages faster. -
MateoFrayo (

Due to the general consensus being reached that the pages should be merged, I'll be working on merging all three pages now. -
