Tentative oppose Like Txtrooper mentioned above the G7 article seems to be about a meeting every few years of the finance ministers of the respective countries whereas the G8 article is about a meeting every summer of the heads of state of the same countries plus Russia until now It seems that although they differ by a single number they are actually very different meetings If the world decides to rename G8 to G7 then they will probably have to come up with a new name for the current G7 meeting of finance ministers
