| *'''Speedy Keep'''. I thought G was a perfectly acceptable gravitational constant in physics?

| '''Remove'''-This commonly used term is a common error. An encyclopedia should not repeat common misconceptions. G-force was not natural to Isaac Newton who regarded force and acceleration as two completely different things. | |||

The whole concept of calling an acceleration a force is wrong. g-force is a slang term used by people unfamiliar with the principles of dynamics. This article will create more confusion in understanding the principles of mechaanics. RHB100 (talk) 18:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Eh? This is a commonly used term and a perfectly valid subject for an entry. If it's inaccurate it needs editing, not deletion. Even if there's something fundamentally wrong with the concept, it would still merit an article explaining why. Hairhorn (talk) 18:52, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Keep I don't think this even needs explaining? G-force is a natural thing... Str8cash (talk) 19:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep The plethora of reliable publications cited would disgree that g-force is a "slang term"... Jujutacular contribs 19:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, regardless, 1,167 Google Book, 13,600 Google Scholar results and my common sense say that it may be informal but it's definitely not some WP:NEO or WP:HOAX term.
