This article was recently deleted in an Afd that saw little participation. After a discussion on my talk page, I've decided to undelete it and reopen a second deletion discussion. I am Neutral for the purpose of this discussion, and I won't be relisting or closing the debate. Mark Arsten (talk) 04:40, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was the author of the deleted page and I must admit that is difficult to find secondary sources for a publication, for the simple reasons that publications tend not to write about other publications (unless they have done something controversial). Therefore it is hard to prove 'notability' using purely online sources. As the note at the bottom of Wikipedia:Notability (periodicals) states: "A periodical that is considered reliable enough to be used regularly as a reliable source by a large number of other works (especially scholarly and other academic works) is considered notable enough to have an article." The publication in question has been used 80 times (at the last count) as a source on other Wikipedia articles, and a quick search of Google Books shows that is often used as a source by academic authors. In the industry that this trade publication writes about, Recharge is one of the biggest, most-respected and most talked-about players, but that is not something tangible that can be proven by clicking on a single URL. Having said that, I've just found this link, which describes Recharge as an 'internationally-renowned renewable energy publication'. Does this count? :) LAC75 (talk) 19:15, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Another thought: would it help to provide links that show how major news outlets have sourced stories from Recharge? Here's one example from the BBC (click here - see the fifth and sixth paragraphs). I'm interested to know what people think. LAC75 (talk) 19:18, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
