Hi Noopur,You can find it here Wikipedia:Notability_(periodicals). My opinion, wwwireframe when searched in google has about 9000 results, and in google news search 0 results. My point is that I created an article on a company, which has about half a million (currently way more than that) results on google, and which has appeared major media such as BBC, Wired, ABC, FOX news, Time magazine, WSJ and many others was nominated for deletion. I also think this is an marketing inquiry.

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 RegardsVJ
