Thank you Clive. So now I rephrased it with "tall" but I wonder if "more height" is wrong outrightly or it can be used in some contexts.

My wife is taller than me.
She is taller than me.
We need taller people for the job. We will exile short people during the preliminary round of interview.
I wish I was taller than I'm now.
I wish I had had taller than I'm now.

Hi,

My wife is taller than me.
She is taller than me.
We need taller people for the job. We will exile eliminate short people during the preliminary round of interview.

Just to add -- if you do want to use "more height" it is something you HAVE not something you ARE.

"He has more height than his brother" is correct, but not as natural as "He is taller than he brother," but "He is more height than his brother" is wrong.
