The result was redirect to Bangu (drum). I've chosen the bold move to redirect to Bangu (drum) instead of the broader Drum. Bangu (drum) could use some work, but is a more complete article and includes the drum mentioned. (non-admin closure) | Uncle Milty | talk | 17:43, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gu (instrument)

Gu is the generic Chinese word for drum, of which there are many kinds (many of which have pages). This page appears to be based on a particular specimen in a museum, but does not provide enough specific information to designate a particular style of drum. There is too little here to bother with merging to drum. Rigadoun (talk) 20:36, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to broader type of drum. What effort has been made to contact the museum for more information? Candleabracadabra (talk) 20:41, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to drum. Gu is simply the Chinese word for drum. See wiktionary entry. -Zanhe (talk) 21:49, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per rationale. There's nothing to merge anyway, since the misrepresented info is actually about a single object. Improbable search term too. --Cold Season (talk) 00:46, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I agree with Zanehe we should redirect to drum and merg the article Staffwaterboy ^{Critique Me} 22:36, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
