Geekom is taiwan based but parent company is Shenzhen.... Sounded fishy...

Sounds fishy if you're a conspiracy-pushing idiot who doesn't understand how subsidiaries work! 2604:3D08:4E7F:F640:58E4:1E04:DB0:C5B3 (talk) 23:53, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi chap from Canada,

you don't seem to be be very smart either.

Where in Taiwan is the company head quarter - address ? 217.149.160.217 (talk) 01:44, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I have created a new talk section about Geekom's corporate history. It seems to be entirely made up. - Wikkiwonkk (talk) 16:59, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The official history of Geekom is highly suspect

I cannot verify Geekom's official story of how they were founded outside of Geekom's own About Us page. Sources outside Geekom are just copy+pasted from there. Their website doesn't show up in archive.org until late 2021. I can't find "Kom de Olde". The three citations in the History section of the article do not support what is claimed.

As best as I can tell, Geekom is a brand owned by Shenzhen Jiteng Network Technology Co. Ltd (founded in 2020 according to them), it didn't exist prior to late 2021, and it has no independent headquarters. - Wikkiwonkk (talk) 16:57, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikkiwonkk Hmmm https://www.kmdisti.com/en/90-geekom I think you may be correct that 2003 is incorrect. Polygnotus (talk) 14:52, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good find. Confirms the details about Shenzhen Jiteng Network Technology and Geekom's relationship to it. It has been a while since I looked at this article, and with fresh eyes it seems that once the unverifiable and false claims are removed it is just a stub article with an outdated list of products. - Wikkiwonkk (talk) 00:22, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah and it is a pretty difficult topic to write an article about. Google did find one account on Reddit that claims to have met Kom de Olde. Geekom, gmktec, minisforum and beelink seem all pretty similar.

@Yue: maybe you can find some foreign language sources? Polygnotus (talk) 00:26, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Polygnotus: Geekom claims it is based in Taiwan and founded in 2003. Most secondary sources in English and Chinese, including the ones currently cited, corroborate this, but I do not doubt they are just taking Geekom's word for it. On Geekom's website it says it has headquarters in both Taiwan and Shenzhen. Wikkiwonkk thinks it is suspicious, you found an inconsistent (primary?) source. Regardless, the coverage available claims it is a Taiwanese company founded in 2003.

My guess is Shenzhen Jiteng Network Technology Co., Ltd acquired an existing Geekom at some point (to explain the 2003 date given in the primary and secondary sources). Also a subsidiary does not necessarily have to be based in the country of its parent company, and oftentimes it is not because globalisation of operations is one reason for setting up subsidiaries. Whether or not Geekom is based in Taiwan or Shenzhen is not as big of a deal as the above discussions are making it seem. Yue ✉ 20:44, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yue I don't think its some kinda conspiracy but it is pretty weird to have a company that started before the company that started it started. What a sentence. It may have been an acquisition or even a merger, but I am completely unable to find a good source on the English-speaking part of the internet, so I was hoping you'd be able to find something on a Chinese site.

Annoyingly we can't just send them an email (WP:OR), that would make life much easier. Polygnotus (talk) 20:58, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Polygnotus: I think it's fine to be skeptical, but what I meant is without sourcing to the contrary, there's nothing to be done. Yue ✉ 21:33, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yue Yup. It just sucks not having a plethora of high quality reliable independent sources about every thing that has ever existed. Polygnotus (talk) 23:56, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
