First of all, when a redirect is made, it has to direct to a page where the redirected term is mentioned. --Manorainjan 09:27, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. Even so, what would be a better redirect? I think we need to be careful not get SARS-CoV-2 centered when it comes to changes than can happen in any protein, like this (if it has 614+ residues, of course), which is why I don't wanna redirect to SARS-CoV-2 variants or something like that—and VOC-202012/01 definitely isn't a good redirect since it gives the impression that it's a defining change in that variant when it's not. —Biscuit-in-Chief :-) (/tɔːk//ˈkɒntɹɪbs/) 13:38, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It means a change took place at position 614 of the genome. Effectively it means on the genome of SARS-CoV-1. For any other genome it would mean a differend thing. It seems You aren ot aware of that. --Manorainjan 14:15, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is the same thing with another name. If at all it should be given an extended name it should be D614G substitution. --Manorainjan 14:50, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Given the already many mentions of D614G in the articles it becomes obvious, that this term needs its own article. --Manorainjan 14:52, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
