Merging request[edit]

Propose merge. There is nothing here that would not be better in the article on Taiping. Itsmejudith (talk) 21:47, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Old Market is noteworthy. The rest has lesser notability to be mentioned. - 60.53.43.143 (talk) 08:14, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I navigated to this page from the Taiping page's "Economy" link. I found nothing here worthy of its own page, from either an economic or historical perspective. But that may be because I couldn't comprehend the language used in the page. I recommend deleting the page entirely. Otherwise, if someone is interested in maintaining it, then it needs to be translated, from whatever English dialect it is written in, to the American English dialect that is the the standard for this Wikipedia. For example, the very first sentence can't be parsed using standard English grammar rules: "With the first market built in Taiping was in 1884 and 1885." The next sentence is even more difficult to decipher:

"Due to the rapid growth of population in the town, there were more markets that mushrooming around the town to provide a basis facilities to the folks."

If there is someone who understands this, then please edit it to standard American English. Or, better yet, just delete the page.--Zahzuhzaz (talk) 14:44, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
