NOW arrticle

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. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 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)

A tabloid ranking is not suitable for inclusion, period. GoldDragon (talk) 16:04, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

NOW Magazine is hardly a tabloid. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 16:41, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree with GoldDragon so since this is a BLP and we have no consensus for it to remain in I will remove it for the time being. Even if it were to be in the article, since it does not specifically say he's the worst then we certainly should not be synthesizing that conclusion. NOW's claim is really not a notable assessment, more like a smear, it seems to me. May122013 (talk) 04:24, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

The NOW claim does seem a bit harsh. It's also 10 years old. I agree it should be removed. Richard Apple (talk) 04:40, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Remove photo

Out of fairness, the photo on this article should be removed. It shows Doug Holyday with Rob Ford, who has received significant negative press over the past year. Again, this is strictly out of fairness to Holyday. Magnolia677 (talk) 05:44, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
