Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Helium.com. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

- I tagged it since it was a reposting of a previously deleted page and it appeared more like an advertisement than anything else. Also, reliable sources need to exist to establish the notability of the subject of the article. It's founder talking about various topics on a show doesn't establish the notability of the site. Notability generally requires reliable, unaffiliated secondary sources per WP:SOURCE and WP:NOTE. Also, I just tagged it as a concern. Oh and marking it a stub doesn't protect it. If the base content of the article is unencyclopedic, it will probably be tagged and deleted, stub or not. An admin (which I am not) deleted this article upon their own consideration of the issue. If you need some help trying to figure out how to create an article that will conform to Wikipedia standards and rules, feel free to leave me a message or you can also put a {{helpme}} tag on your talk page and someone will get back to you. Also, since this article has been deleted twice, you may want to exercise some caution in recreating it as it will be spotted quickly. You may want to consider disputing the deletion at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Good luck! -Cquan (talk, AMA Desk) 03:14, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
