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 (

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.

OK, poor choice of words on my part, but I think I can see your point. I'll withdraw the merge proposal. Polyamorph (
