Reconrabbit prodded with the rationale, "Does not meet WP:NCORP; organization has not received substantial, independent coverage in its 30+ years of existence that I could find. Most sources are press releases or are covering Nvidia more than this group (which may get passing mention), and searching brings up a location in Virigina.", which is precisely what my searches turned up as well.

  The review notes: "Galaxy Xtreme Tuner软件由影驰自主研发，并随该厂的GeForce 9600GT HDMI显卡附送，暂时只适用于该显卡。打开软件的控制面板，大家会发现其界面与其他厂商的显卡超频软件颇为相似，主要提供Shader频率、图形核心频率及显存频率调整功能，前两者还可设置为非同步模式进行调整，而且幅度极大。"
  From Google Translate: "Galaxy Xtreme Tuner software is independently developed by Galaxy and comes with the GeForce 9600GT HDMI graphics card of the factory. It is only applicable to this graphics card for the time being. Open the control panel of the software, you will find that its interface is quite similar to other manufacturers' graphics card overclocking software, mainly providing shader frequency, graphics core frequency and video memory frequency adjustment functions. The first two can also be set to asynchronous mode for adjustment, and the amplitude is very large."
  The article notes: "根据笔者个人所作测试来看，在默认模式中把图形核心和内存频率提高，并把Shader频率设置为与核心频率同步，而风扇供电则保持为“Auto”模式。测试结果发现，预设频率为650/1800MHz的影驰9600GT显卡的最高图形核心超频能力为777MHz，显存则可超频到2266MHz，3DMark06测试得分由11382分提高到11715分，性能增幅为2.9%。"
  From Google Translate: "According to the author's personal test, the graphics core and memory frequencies are increased in the default mode, and the Shader frequency is set to synchronize with the core frequency, while the fan power supply remains in "Auto" mode. The test results show that the maximum graphics core overclocking capability of the Galaxy 9600GT graphics card with a preset frequency of 650/1800MHz is 777MHz, and the video memory can be overclocked to 2266MHz. The 3DMark06 test score increased from 11382 points to 11715 points, and the performance increase was 2.9%."

  The article notes: "影驰9600GT中将版显卡采用了非公版PCB设计，使用了全封闭式电感搭配日本化工固态电容，整体做工扎实，用料非常不错。... 踏入2009年，首先值得我们记忆的就有影驰9600GT中将，这款显卡在08年的12月初就以699元的低价示人，这款显卡拥有强劲的供电配置、相当有个性的散热系统，加上默认高频以及低廉的售价，在09年的市场上就率先火了一把!以笔者的记忆，当时可谓受到众多的DIYer关注，几乎全国都出现有价无货的场面。而影驰9600GT中将在2009年的率先获得成功，除了产品的质量之外，很大程度上也要多得影驰市场运营上的成熟，与对消费者消费独到理解。而笔者认为影驰9600GT中将如果失去了一群出色的市场营销人员，那么它的确会失色不少。"
  From Google Translate: "The GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition graphics card uses a non-public version PCB design, uses a fully enclosed inductor with a Japanese chemical solid capacitor, and has a solid overall workmanship and very good materials. ... Entering 2009, the first thing worth remembering is the GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition. This graphics card was shown at the beginning of December 2008 at a low price of 699 yuan. This graphics card has a strong power supply configuration, a very unique cooling system, a default high frequency and a low price. It was the first to become popular in the market in 2009! As far as I remember, it attracted the attention of many DIYers at that time, and there was a situation of being out of stock almost all over the country. The GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition was the first to succeed in 2009. In addition to the quality of the product, it was also largely due to the maturity of GALAX's market operations and its unique understanding of consumer consumption. And the author believes that if the GALAX 9600GT Lieutenant Edition lost a group of outstanding marketing personnel, it would indeed lose a lot of color."

  The review notes: "影驰的显卡性价比一项很不错，特别是近期热卖的GTS250骨灰上将版，上市价为899元，而且还送NV原装键盘，有着738/2200MHz的核心显存频率，性价比非常好。影驰 GTS250骨灰上将版其核心采用55nm制程工艺，拥有128个流处理器，支持Phsyx物理引擎、CUDA并行运算，可以为游戏玩家提供更真实的游戏体验，性能相当强劲。制程工艺的提高，意味着产品成本的降低与功耗、发热量的降低，这无疑使得产品性价比更高了。"
  From Google Translate: "GALAX graphics cards have a very good price-performance ratio, especially the GTS250 Hardcore Admiral Edition, which is popular recently. The listing price is 899 yuan, and it also comes with an NV original keyboard. It has a core memory frequency of 738/2200MHz, which is very cost-effective. The GALAX GTS250 Hardcore Admiral Edition uses a 55nm process technology, has 128 stream processors, supports Phsyx physics engine and CUDA parallel computing, and can provide gamers with a more realistic gaming experience. The performance is quite strong. The improvement of the process technology means the reduction of product costs and power consumption and heat generation, which undoubtedly makes the product more cost-effective."

  The article notes: "經歷了屢敗屢戰的艱苦磨礪，林世強博士終於找到事業發展的新契機。2000年，影馳攜手全球電腦顯卡芯片製造龍頭公司NVIDIA，拓展電腦顯卡市場，影馳並且正式成為NVIDIA的核心夥伴。及至2003年，林世強博士正式推出全球市場戰略，他以創新科研為自主品牌的核心，以遊戲玩家為重心推行中高端發展路線，以「專注、多元、創新、重質」為經營理念，目前公司擁有齊全的產品線，除了主要的顯示卡外，還有固態硬碟、記憶體、主機板與鍵盤等，在業內取得良好口碑，每年逾數百萬件顯卡及電腦配件產品，遠銷至世界各地，包括東南亞、歐洲、南美洲、南非等地。"
  From Google Translate: "After experiencing the hardships of repeated failures, Dr. Lin Shiqiang finally found a new opportunity for career development. In 2000, GALAX joined hands with NVIDIA, the world's leading computer graphics card chip manufacturer, to expand the computer graphics card market, and GALAX officially became NVIDIA's core partner. In 2003, Dr. Lin Shiqiang officially launched the global market strategy. He took innovative scientific research as the core of the independent brand, promoted the mid-to-high-end development route with gamers as the focus, and took "focus, diversity, innovation, and quality" as the business philosophy. The company currently has a complete product line. In addition to the main graphics cards, there are also solid-state drives, memory, motherboards and keyboards, etc., and has gained a good reputation in the industry. Every year, more than millions of graphics cards and computer accessories are sold all over the world, including Southeast Asia, Europe, South America, South Africa and other places."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow GALAX (simplified Chinese: 影驰; traditional Chinese: 影馳) to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

That all seems fairly convincing. I obviously didn't find any of these, not even on other language Wikipedia articles for the subject. If incorporated into the article it would make a good case for renoving the maintenance tenplates present. Recon rabbit 22:06, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
