FYI, the statement about Holyday being nominated as Toronto's worst councillor is tied to the previous sentences. Therefore it doesn't stand on its own but provides context for Holyday's 'voting record'. While the article doesn't specifically call him 'Toronto's worst councillor' it does put him at the top of a top ten list of the worst councillors and labels him as 'Public Enenmy Number One'. IMO that's enough to label him as the worst councillor. ] (]) 23:50, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

That is a matter of opinion from a tabloid, this is not like the academic ranking of Historical rankings of United States Presidents. GoldDragon (talk) 01:59, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

You are correct to note that Now Magazine's ranking of the 10 Worst Councillors in Toronto is not an academic listing. This, however, is quite beside the point. It's a journalistic ranking, and is suitable for inclusion in the article accordingly. CJCurrie (talk) 04:00, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
