 * Comment I suspect the difficulty in finding online sources is down to Christie's prominence coming in the 70s and 80s. She was a senior news journalist in BBC Scotland and a regular presence on current affairs programmes, particularly Reporting Scotland on which she was an almost daily presence.

 * Keep I realise that the article could do with improvement, but she was a leading TV journalist in Scotland for several years. PatGallacher (talk) 20:40, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Here's just an example of her TV journalism: PatGallacher (talk) 20:46, 22 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep - per WP:NOTTEMPORARY. Have we got any reason to think the above described coverage wasn't enough to make her notable then? If she was then, she is now.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 01:21, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - I would agree about the fact that sources are limited (in part because of a general lack of online sources about Scottish broadcast news pre-1990s), but as noted she was a significant figure in Scottish television news for many years. Dunarc (talk) 22:46, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
