Talk:Oblique Mercator projection

Proposed merge with Space-oblique Mercator projection
Space-oblique Mercator projection is clearly a specific application of Oblique Mercator projection, I cannot see justification for two separate articles Polyamorph (talk) 07:56, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose Space-oblique has been around for over a decade while oblique was just created from a redirect within the past day or so, these are two separate map projections with differing histories and there's probably enough for two articles, but in case there is a merge, I think Space-oblique should be the parent article.

 * Space-oblique is derived from the oblique Mercator projection, it is simply a special case. So merging in the opposite direction would not make much sense. Polyamorph (talk) 08:19, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * It's actually not specifically "derived" from oblique Mercator unless you're making a bad math joke - it's a separate projection completely (it was almost named "Colvo's Projection") and discussed separately as such in cartography. Don't see the need for the merge. SportingFlyer  T · C  08:25, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, poor choice of words on my part, but I think I can see your point. I'll withdraw the merge proposal. Polyamorph (talk) 09:06, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
