Keep. While the sourcing in the article is currently pretty awful (mostly written by the subject or trivial), there are a number of quality sources in google books which are independent and demonstrate significant coverage. The most substantial of these is Capers Jones (2014). The Technical and Social History of Software Engineering. Addison-Wesley. pp. 136–137.; which I added to the article and can be used to improve it further. Given that a history of software engineering devotes a subsection entirely to Galorath and his company, I think its clear he passes criteria 1 of WP:NACADEMIC.4meter4 (talk) 18:08, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
