The page geography of mars has been changed to areography. Following this, I will change "Topography of the Moon" to "Selenography," defined as "The scientific study of the Moon's geographic features; geography of the Moon" as that more accurately reflects the nature of this article after the merger, with topography of the moon being a subset of selenography, like the topography of Earth is a subset of geography/geology. Further, the current definition of topography of the moon needs significant changes, as topography means "the arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area," not the mapping or study of these features.

Selenography (Geography of the Moon) → Selenography – Primary topic should take the unqualified article title. The existing redirect Selenography and its talk page have history which should be preserved. Certes ( talk) 10:24, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
is highly likely ... to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that termand
has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic. I think that's true here but we'll see what other opinions appear. By the way, WP:RMTR can help with moving pages to a title that's already occupied, though we should now leave this page at its current title until this discussion ends.

Creating a new topic because the last is closed.
Certes, topography of the moon is a subset of Selenography, not the way around. Geography is not a subset of topography on Earth, but geographers study topography. Topography is a geoscience on Earth, geoscience is not a subset of topography. I don't see any reason that topography would not be a subset of selenography, any more then geography would be a subset of topography. Inclusion of a topography section on this page makes sense, as topography is a major part of the moons surface features, and selenography studies those. I do not see any reason for a split.
