When people ask me to "create Wikipedia profile page" for non-notable websites or organizations, I generally just pass these links to them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28organizations_and_compa... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28web%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:COI#Promotional_article_production_on...

Hi Noopur,
Thanks for responding.
I run an online technology magazine for a leading tech support firm called iYogi http://www.iyogi.com/, the magazine is called wwwireframehttp://www.wwwireframe.com/ (which is also currently undergoing a rebranding and redesign to offer a much better responsive UI to readers).
In the eight months since the project has been in existence -- we've done over 500 pages of original content spread across topics such as technology, business, social media, science, startups, green technology and nonprofits. What are the benchmarks for eligibility? I wouldn't like to face a situation where I create a page only to see it deleted by an editor.
As I found out, the IP range of the parent organization, iYogi, has been banned by a Wikipedia editor. I don't know why that is, maybe the page they created was badly done or perhaps it was a total sales pitch with no value.
Now that I've shared some history with you.
(1) My first priority is to create a page for my magazine (wwwireframe), how do I do it?
(2) If possible, I'd like to look into the possibility of reviving the iYogi page -- do it well this time. It's actually quite a trusted company with its investors (Sequoia being one of them) and customers (majority from US) with global competitors like Geek Squad.
Sorry for the long-ish email, tried to keep it short. Would really appreciate your opinion on this.
Warm Regards VJ
