Unclear why this article exists when none of the more well known variants have an article. Article has nothing of value to add back into the main article. EoRdE6^(Talk) 01:15, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, I'm saying its an unnecessary splice of a larger article. The splice has little real content that isn't in the main article, and little potential to grow. No other subvariants from the main article have their own articles, regardless of how "highly infectious" they are. EoRdE6^(Talk) 23:08, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: More than 60,495 peoples read this article which means 500 peoples read this daily 1 and the variant is regarded as "highly infectious". 2 ​​​​​​​𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️^{Let's Talk !} 05:44, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Page views themselves don't make a topic notable or worthy of a fork. Nor does how "highly infectious" it may be. Have a read of WP:PAGEDECIDE. EoRdE6^(Talk) 23:08, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, clearly a useful redirect per above but all relevant information is already in the Omicron article. Gnomingstuff (talk) 02:53, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. Aztec Warrior | talk | contribs 13:22, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
