Rename?

I'd like to rename this to G (letter) so that I can have a G (disambiguation) page, and link that to Acceleration due to gravity‎. J. Noel Chiappa 11:13, 1 June 2008 (CDT)

Fine by me - Ro Thorpe 11:20, 1 June 2008 (CDT)
Thanks! Will do. J. Noel Chiappa 11:28, 1 June 2008 (CDT)
Shouldn't the most common or main use of something take the main article space? The letter "G" as an alphabet character is more commonly known than "G" to represent acceleration due to gravity‎. It might also be better to maintain consistency in naming conventions for alphabet characters. Mark Jones 13:01, 1 June 2008 (CDT)
There's currently a proposal about exactly that, currently going through the queue. But for the letters specifically, we're currently talking about standardizing in a different way. Feel free to let your opinions heard on this topic! John Dvorak 13:25, 1 June 2008 (CDT)
I don't have a particularly strong feeling one way or the other as to whether G should point at G (letter) or G (dismabiguation), but the proposal on disambiguation mechanics, which most people seem happy with, does say that there won't be any actual article at G, just a redir. I set it to point to the dab page because I assume most people would want one of the other meanings of G, not just the letter, but maybe that's an incorrect assumption. J.
