ChAdOx2

[edit]

@Alexcalamaro, Mazca, BDD, and Rich Farmbrough: As the same researchers who created ChAdOx1 have also created ChAdOx2 (see [1]), should this be included in the article (which would require a move). I'm not starting a formal RfM, because the title's sufficient for what is in the article at the moment. --TedEdwards 18:11, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is way out of my subject expertise! Are there similar articles that cover multiple vectors? What would the title be? --BDD (talk) 18:40, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @TedEdwards:On a brief look it doesn't look like there's a huge amount of coverage of ChAdOx2 compared to ChAdOx1, there's basically that single proof-of-concept paper and a few other small bits. And while being a simian adenovirus vector from the same group, it doesn't seem to be directly developed from ChAdOx1, so I think it comes down to a few options:
  • Does ChAdOx2 deserve its own page, or does it maybe just deserve a mention at Adenoviridae#Vaccines?
  • If both are notable and there aren't any other related ones, is it best to rework this page into one perhaps just called ChAdOx and cover both?
  • or would a new page at Simian adenovirus vectors or similar to cover the general topic be better?
It's a strange area to decide on, because we don't actually have pages as yet on the more general terms, like chimpanzee adenovirus or adenovirus vector. I'd suggest work out exactly how much encyclopedic content you can actually pull out about ChAdOx2 and go from there. If it's a one sentence kind of thing, it can probably go in several places. ~ mazca talk 18:56, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'd think leave it, unless and until there is sufficient material to establish notability (though it is significant enough to mention in a number of places). I share the preference for some information on ChAd itself, we have a goal of covering all known viruses. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 19:40, 9 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]
