Lack of notability?

edit

I can find no actual use of, or indeed, commentary on this projection outside of Wikipedia or its mirrors, but for the and only URL that is cited by this article. In particular, it is not present in the large collection of projections coded and maintained at http://www.remotesensing.org/proj/. mdf 17:55, 4 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
