It would be the same as combining OO and H0 and half a millimeter can make all the difference! (I was looking at some HO British stock compared with OO Equivalents at an exhibition last week - there is a marked difference, so I would say they should be kept separate.

The proposal was put up because both articles are stubs. Combining them would make one decent article. It is good to see the support, maybe we can see some more content. --

OO9 or 009?
I thought it was called OO9 rather than 009 (Oh Oh Nine rather than zero zero nine). However the
009 society uses the number instead of the letter yet the wikipedia uses the letter. I thought that OO9 was correct - as the OO comes from
OO gauge. --

The "0" in O, OO and HO scales was originally zero, as the it related to the old numerical scales, ie 1, 2, 3 etc. Common usage has tended to use the letter O, however this did not matter, at least until the arrival of computers which obviously treat O and 0 differently. --

0 is European, O American. The UK, the focus of 009, is unclear: 00 was always pronounced as "double-oh", which is itself unclear as to which it means.
H0m and
HOn30 are very clearly either 0 or O, as appropriate. 009 though is never likely to be sorted, although the 009 society might be considered authoritative. Wikipedia, as usual, invents its own formats regardless and claims them to unimpeachable.
