Editor: It's not called Huami Corp anymore:

"BEIJING and CUPERTINO, Calif., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Huami Corp. today announced it is changing its name internationally to Zepp Health Corp."
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/huami-corporation-announces-name-change-to-zepp-health-301235457.html

This submission illustrates a problem with including entries for proper names in the dictionary: these entries tend to be high-maintenance, because company names can change, or the nature of the business can change, etc.

We are a small operation and we have limited editor-hours, so we can't deal with every possible word. There are thousands upon thousands of business names, notable people, book titles, movie characters. We can't spend time on more than a small proportion of them, so I think it's best to restrict attention to just the very important ones. Wikipedia does a good job of documenting proper names. Let's leave it to them, and focus mainly on verbs, adjectives, common nouns and the like -- our core mission.
