The subject fails WP:GNG. She is presented as an academic but clearly fails WP:PROF she is also presented as an author but there is no proof that she meets WP:AUTHOR guidelines. Domdeparis (talk) 09:22, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Kathleen E. Christensen is regarded as an important figure in her field and has had significant impact in this field.^[1]. The links recently added add to the narrative, meeting at least one of the guidelines, show the significance of the subjects impact.Rmazzone (talk) 14:16, 3 February 2017 (UTC)— Rmazzone (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment, appears to be one of the go to people in the area of workplace flexibility, ie. "Flex Time Flourishes in Accounting Industry" - "Kathleen E. Christensen, director of workplace flexibility programs at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, said accounting firms should serve as a model for all of corporate America", New York Times, "Does Enhancing Work-Time Control and Flexibility Reduce Turnover? A Naturally Occurring Experiment" Social Problems - "and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation’s effort to advance policies increasing employees’ control over the time and timing of work (Christensen and Schneider 2010) are challenging the legitimacy of existing inflexible work-time arrangements and promoting the need for work-time redesign.", Christensen's books have been reviewed eg. Contingent Work in Industrial and Labor Relations Review, Workplace Flexibility in British Journal of Industrial Relations, The New Era of Home-Based Work in Gender & Society, Turbulence in the American Workforce (major contributor) in The Indian Journal of Industrial Relations, also, her books are held in numerous libraries eg. WorldCat shows Workplace flexibility held in around 645 libraries, Contingent Work held by around 475 libraries, Turbulence in the American workplace held by around 850 libraries, Women and home-based work by around 350 libraries, The New era of home-based work around 350 libraries, so close to a 'keep'.

Keep -- enough hits in Google books to suggest notability: link, as well as per above as WP:AUTHOR of widely held books. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:26, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep even though I suspect some CPI editing. For example, her first book was published in 1988, and is widely read; however, important dates are curiously missing from the article. As director of a think tank project, she's the equivalent of a full professor. Bearian (talk) 14:18, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
