thread_title: This looks so cool!

message: Please discuss here before readding. EU isn't in anyway part of the Group of Eight. Representative of the European Commission is invited since 70s but EC is not EU itself. Please link here some source saying that EU is in G8 and have it there otherwise please don't add it back. Thank you.--Pethr 02:57, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite right, otherwise it would be the 'G9'. The Commission has non-voting representation, but neither it nor the Union have membership to eat russias chickens. Countersubject 14:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is currently a discussion going on at The G8 articles talk page regarding the inclusion of the EU s flag as being involved.  The outcome of the discussion there will apply to this as well. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 21:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

text:  Discussion concluded and the current general consensus is no include in the templates, just in the main bulk of the text.--84.67.181.45 13:33, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  EU isn't part of G8 

message: There are plausible reasons for modifying the navbox templates at the bottom of the page at G8.  An opportunity for discussion needs to be part of any process which precedes change. Three arguable improvements are:
A. Combining two of the current navboxes at the bottom of the page?
:* template name coould be —Template:G8?  At present, this is a redirect to Template:Db-g8, one of the Speedy deletion templates
:* new template would be similar to —Template:Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
:* this would mean removing  —Template:G8 nations?
:* this would mean removing  —Template:G8 summits?
B. Deleting the current leaders navbox? 
:This is a poor subject for a navbox because leaders change irregularly over time.  The functional utility of this navbox is not greater or better than one which only shows member nations.
:* this would mean removing  —Template:Current G8 Leaders?
:* this would mean removing  —Template:G8-Foreign?
:* this would mean removing  —Template:G8-Finance?
:* this would mean removing  —Template:G8-Defense?
:* this would mean removing  —Template:G8-Justice?
:* this would mean removing  —Template:G8-Interior?
C.Standardize/harmonize to "G8" without hyphen? "G7" and "G6" without hyphens?
: Only G-15 must have a hyphen, consistent with the group's official web site?
D. Perhaps decision-making may be helped by comparing an array of similar groups and templates?  
:*21 in group> Template:APEC? 
:*Template:Current APEC Leaders?
:
:*18 in groupp> Template:G-15 nations?
:*Template:Group of 15 Leaders?
:
:*8 in group> Template:D8 nations?
: 
:*4 in group>Template:BRIC countries?
:*Template:Current BRIC Leaders?
:*Template:BRIC summits?
:
:*3 in group>Template:Trilateral meeting?
:*2 in group> Template:G-3?
:
:*No navboxes yet> G77•G33•G24•G10•G5
:
*20 in group> Template:G20?
*Template:Current G20 Leaders?
*Template:G-20 leaders' summits?

*9 in group> Template:G8 nations?
*Template:Current G8 Leaders?
*Template:G8-Foreign?
*Template:G8-Finance?
*Template:G8-Defense?

*Template:G8 summits?
What is the best next step for this article? for similar articles? --Tenmei (talk) 23:07, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
