When people ask me to "create Wikipedia profile page" for non-notable websites or organizations,
I generally just pass these links to them

Hi Noopur,

Thanks for responding.

I run an online technology magazine for a leading tech support firm called iYogi, the magazine is called wwwireframe (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
