Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Comment: There are two issues with the article in its current form preventing me from accepting it. First is the sourcing - It still is not clear from the article how Galama meets either the general notability guideline or the academic-specific notability guideline. None of the sources are independent and they don't directly support the article's claims - The Science article mentioned in the text of the article isn't cited, for example. If independent coverage showing the impact of Galama's research can be provided, then this issue will be resolved.The second issue is the structure of the article - It reads like a CV and the headings are a bit all over the place. You can use an article about another academic, like Gregory Price, to see what the structure should be. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 01:06, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: To show that this subject is notable, this person would need to meet one of the WP:NPROF criteria, or be discussed in independent sources. The sources written by this person or by his employer are not independent so cannot contribute to the assessment of notability. References 1 to 4 are to university home pages and do not mention Galama. The citations need to be to where you found the information being presented. Reference 14 is to another Wikipedia article: see WP:CIRCULAR. Also, some of the article appears to be inaccurate. For example, his PhD in economics appears to be from Tilburg University, not Amsterdam. Mgp28 (talk) 11:07, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
Dr. Titus J. Galama, Ph.D., MBA, is an Associate Professor of Economics in the Dornsife Center for Economic and Social Research (CESR) at the University of Southern California and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam's School of Business and Economics (SBE). He is also the Director of the USC Center for the Study of Health Inequality and a Research Fellow at the Tinbergen Institute in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Education Dr. Galama earned his Ph.D. in Astrophysics from the University of Amsterdam (cum laude, 1999), where his work contributed to major discoveries in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), including his involvement in research on the supernova SN 1998bw. He later completed a Ph.D. in Economics at Tilburg University (cum laude, 2011) and an MBA from INSEAD, France/Singapore (2003).
Research and Contributions Dr. Galama has contributed significantly to both astrophysics and health economics. His astrophysical research on SN 1998bw- a rare Type Ic supernova linked to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)-was part of groundbreaking work that established the connection between GRBs and supernovae. His discovery was recognized by Science magazine as one of the top scientific discoveries of the late 1990s. His later work in economics focuses on health disparities, applying economic models to understand how socioeconomic factors influence health outcomes across the life cycle.
Notable Work Dr. Galama has been recognized for his interdisciplinary research, which spans economics, astrophysics, and social-science genetics. His health economics research is widely published in academic journals, including the Journal of the European Economic Association and The Economic Journal.
