When a Google+ account is dropped, does that drop the Gmail email associated with it as well?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It drops everything associated with the google account.

So that is how people lose long term accounts? If you already have a gmail or google account and upgrade to Google+, you can end up having the whole thing dropped if your Google+ name does not meet (unspecified) Google+ standards?

Ayup. That's why I went with my least used google account.

Because books.
I wonder if they're taking into account how long a Gmail address has been used previously. I mean, my name doesn't look like a pseudonym at all, but I also have a long history of use with Gmail.

Some people have lost a long history and lots of emails.

I've seen mixed reports on that. The thing is, people who are losing their accounts aren't always told why, and there are two primary categories: 1) naming violations, and 2) unspecified TOS violations.
It appears that people who lose their Google+ account because Google doesn't like the name only lose the Google+ account. They keep their gmail, etc--this is what happened to Skud.
People who lose their account for unspecified TOS reasons lose the entire account, including email, calendar, etc. The problem is that the TOS reasons could be naming violations, or not. Google isn't saying, because there's no customer service.
Which is why I'm not going anywhere near Google+ right now--among the potential TOS violations are violations of copyright, so if they're enforcing it and I link approvingly to a piece of fanfic, does that mean they'll shut me down? It's not worth the risk to me.

Holy crap, are you serious? That's...what the fuck?! I wouldn't want to associate a social networking account with my Google account to begin with; I have enough things bundled into that. The fact that shenanigans with a Google+ account could destroy years of web history (I don't use Gmail anyway) is a strike against it.
