Fails WP:NBIO and WP:GNG. As per WP:BEFORE was able to find some things online but nothing that would pass WP:GNG, further WP:BEFORE in the newspaper archive didn't produce anything of note. Has worked or been part of notable things such as one episode of a TV show on Bravo and as an executive of Macromedia. But WP:INHERITORG does not transfer that notability to Gale.

  1. WP:NBIO: has not won a major award, and is not well known in the field.

Anthill Magazine ~ Hard to tell this article is from 2004 so a lot could change with this source since then ~ Article does not have an author, makes Gale look really good with out a lot of deeper questions Yes Article is about Gale but is done in a way that makes him look really good. ~ Partial
Bravo Yes Bravo isn't really known for it's deep cutting work but it appears to be independent No If you would cite Shark Tank as a reliable source then you should be able to do it here as well No Gale is on the show but it's hard to tell since the source is only a one minute clip from an episode of a TV show No
The New York Observer Yes In general it appears to be independent No I would say the source wouldn't be reliable because it's a human interest story, but the facts appear to line up that Gale's company invested money in an app that was on this show ~ Gale is quoted twice but the article isn't about Gale it's about the app and the people who pitched it on a show where he was the judge No
Business Insider ~ As per WP:BI there isn't consensus on the reliability of this source No As per WP:BI there isn't consensus on the reliability of this source No Gale is quoted a couple of times but the article isn't about Gale it's about the app and the people who pitched it on a show where he was the judge No

Gulf Marketing Review ? Site is no longer online, went to the Internet Archive and it mentions that Gale was on a panel at an event but nothing more ~ Can't tell if the source is reliable but as the article is just one sentence about him being somewhere I'm willing to belive it No Site is no longer online, went to the Internet Archive and it mentions that Gale was on a panel at an event but nothing more No
