does this merit an article of its own? Rathfelder ( talk) 13:05, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply

I agree - as long as this is a stub, it should be merged into Influenza A Virus. Peteruetz ( talk) 02:56, 26 September 2015 (UTC) reply

The page has signficantly expanded since this proposal was last discussed, including outbreaks in 2016 and 2017 - given this expansion, it seems that the condition given by Peteruetz no longer holds; so, closing for lack of consensus for the merge (given recent changes in the page).
