Due to the lack of positive sources and the strange composition of the article I believe this should be deleted from Wikipedia. It is unimportant and not factual. It is engineered in a manner assuming "G8 + 5" is an actual organization, which it is not. Rather it is a neologism from a news article and used satirically.

Where does that come from? Isn't it orginal research? -- 170.66.1.233 ( talk) 16:38, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved G8 Research Group → G7 Research Group and European Union and the G8 → European Union and the G7 per clear consensus. G8+5 was not moved since a few particpants noted that the G8+5 hasn't met since the Group became the G7, thus there are no sources calling it that. -- Tavix ( talk) 22:45, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
– The title of this article is obsolete since 2014, because after the expulsion of Russia from the G8, the group has again become the G7, and therefore the article should be renamed as the G7+5. (The "G8+5" should be put as a history section of the renamed (and enlarged) article.) The expulsion of Russia looks more or less permanent (since neither side will budge on the issue of the annexation of Crimea, the reason for its expulsion), so the request can be made.

... Much more importantly, this group is using the name "G7 Information Centre" in its website, even though its website retains the address http://www.g8.utoronto.ca/ .— Andy W.

Is it really useful to have a section showing the current leaders of the member nations of an organization that no longer exists? Wouldn't it make more sense to show who the national leaders were prior to the dissolution of the G8+5? — Red XIV ( talk) 05:52, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
