A tag has been placed on Ilevel, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Finngall talk 15:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, if the article is to be about art installation, then write an article titled "Art installation". (Right now, Art installation exists as a redirect page to Installation art, but I see no problem with usurping it provided you include an appropriate {{otheruses}} tag on both articles so that anyone looking for one subject and arriving at the other can be directed appropriately.
That said, remember that Wikipedia is an encylopedia, not a business directory or a provider of free web space. All articles should include references to independent reliable sources. That means if there are references out there that cover art installation in general, they should be used, while links to specific businesses should be avoided.
None of this precludes having a specific article on Ilevel per se, but that subjects of all articles must meet certain notability guidelines. The more specific guidelines for organizations and companies can be found here. I'm no expert on the subject, but I doubt Ilevel meets those guidelines. Also, this being an encyclopedia, the article must still use independent references as noted above, and it must maintain a neutral point of view at all times. Also, if you are connected with the company, I should point out the guidelines regarding conflict of interest--generally, writing about one's own company or products is strongly discouraged.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions. --Finngall talk 16:45, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
