[edit] Pang uk

Reason 1, merge it to stilt house and redirect. If it ever becomes more than a section at that other article, maybe it should be split. That is years away. Reason 2, use english. It's nearly a direct translation to stilt house where we already have another stub waiting for regional variations like this one. SchmuckyTheCat 30 June 2005 02:28 (UTC)

• merge is my nominating vote. SchmuckyTheCat 30 June 2005 02:28 (UTC)
  • Then Be Bold, darnit. VfD doesn't need to vote on whether to merge things! This cluters the page, and wastes time, since now we have to wait 5 days to merge it. It is better to seek forgiveness than ask permission. humblefool® 30 June 2005 06:37 (UTC)
    • If you view the history, you'll see that I've done so. My persistent foil engages in a revert war to prevent it. Watch as he will gather his puppets to vote keep right here. The clear answer, for me, is to bring it to the community to gather consensus. SchmuckyTheCat 30 June 2005 14:21 (UTC)
      • Please don't label anybody as puppets. :-) — Instantnood June 30, 2005 17:08 (UTC)
• Redirect to Stilt house. JamesBurns 30 June 2005 03:57 (UTC)
• Oppose. Pang uk has its own history, and is a significant symbol of what the Tanka culture has remained. — Instantnood June 30, 2005 08:27 (UTC)
  • Oppose what? Deletion, or keeping? ~~~~ 30 June 2005 15:35 (UTC)
    • Oppose deletion or merging. — Instantnood July 1, 2005 14:16 (UTC)
• Redirect to Stilt house, if it remains as a stub. If it has its own history, then be bold to expand it.--Huaiwei 30 June 2005 08:56 (UTC)
• Keep separate per Instandnood. Kappa 30 June 2005 13:06 (UTC)
• This is possibly related to the Instantnood debacle presently on WP:RFAr. (if not, my vote would be to merge). Radiant_>|< June 30, 2005 14:21 (UTC)
• Keep Has a separate history. Metromoxie 30 June 2005
• Merge and redirect per GFDL. Proto t c 30 June 2005 15:25 (UTC) Changing my vote to keep, providing the main stilt house article is improved. Proto t c 4 July 2005 08:25 (UTC)
• Merge Keep Ashibaka (tock) 30 June 2005 18:17 (UTC)
• Comment: If this article has to be deleted, it'd better be merged into Tai O and Tanka. My vote remains a keep vote. — Instantnood June 30, 2005 20:24 (UTC)
• Merge and trim some of those external links. --Carnildo 30 June 2005 20:51 (UTC)
• keep as an individual topic, and expand the miserable stilt house. By the logic of 'mergists', everything may be merged in house. mikka (t) 30 June 2005 21:34 (UTC)
• Keep. You are informed that there're different kinds of stilt house. Those in Hanoi, Bangkok and Hong Kong are all entriely different. Furthermore, a documentary produced by TVB few years ago, just after the great fire in Tai O where abounded in loads of Pang uk, suggested that the techniques of building such construction was dying out. Pang uk is of grave historical (mind you, Hong Kong WAS fishing villages), ethnical (particularly to Tanka) and cultural significance to Hong Kong. (PS Pang uk is also a location in Hong Kong.) -- Jerry Crimson Mann 2 July 2005 17:54 (UTC)

It makes sense that "stilt house" is just a general category which can describe many independently developed types of house. So, I'm changing my vote. Thanks for the research, Jerry. :) Ashibaka (tock) 2 July 2005 18:52 (UTC)

Thanks for your appreciation. :-D -- Jerry Crimson Mann 2 July 2005 18:55 (UTC)
