The result of the proposal was
I propose that this article be moved from "Fangoria (magazine)" to simply "Fangoria", as the word was created for the magazine, and the only other listings on the disambiguation page are a band (named after the magazine) and a film company (owned by the magazine). "Fangoria" is simply "Fangoria", and its article should reflect this. An "other uses" link could be added to the top of the page, but I believe that when one types "Fangoria" into the wiki search bar, this is the page that should come up.

Moved Fangoria (magazine) → Fangoria and the previous Fangoria → Fangoria (disambiguation) as it was already a nice DAB page of the various meanings. Added hatnote to Fangoria (now one specific meaning) pointing to that DAB page. DMacks (talk) 18:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed move

message: For the first time in 25 years, a new editor is taking the reins of fangoria. DreadCentral.com and shocktillyoudrop.com both report that the new boss is Chris Alexander, a past contributor to Rue Morgue magazine. But nonr of this is actually sourced to Fangoria's publishers; both sites indicate that their news source is Alexander himself, and no one has yet quoted any known Fangoria principal or employee.

thread_title:  New Editor 

message: I have deleted the unverified piece of information regarding the website Bloody Disgusting being banned from all Fangoria events. I have personally verified that this piece of information is untrue, and even if it were, it would be Creation (the company that puts on Fango's events), not Fangoria that would do the banning. Fangoria simply acts as a namesake to their Weekend of Horrors conventions. 207.45.43.68 (talk) 12:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy 

message: The last attempt at starting Fangoria Comics was speedily deleted despite looking fairly solid  and if we wan it back we need to prove notability. I'd suggest we gather together resources here then restart it. So examples include:
*Review of Bump #1 at Ain't It Cool News
*Newsarama had a Fangoria Comics week including:
**Review of Bump #1 and a preview
**Review of Beneath the Valley of the Rage #1, prequel to The Rage
**Interview with Jesse Snider about Strangeland: Seven Sins the prequel to Dee Snider's Strangeland
**Interview with Mark Kidwell
**Interview with Scott Licina
Given the output and the fact it ties in with various films (and other film involvement - seems Michael Madsen has created a title: Shifter in which he stars), I don't think we'll struggle to meet notability but I want to be sure. So if you spot anything from reliable sources then drop it in here. (Emperor 19:44, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Fangoria issue 07.png

message: "As they have been since their inception Fangoria is currently the most widely-read horror-themed publication in the world." Earlier in the article, Fangoria was losing $20,000 per issue, so it can't have been that widely-read at inception. Secondly, while figures may show Fangoria to be the largest-selling horror-themed publication in the world, there is doubt that many contemporary purchasers actually read it.

thread_title:  incorrect, uncertain 

message: I have just tried to access the magazine's official site but I am not getting anywhere in doing so. Does anyone in here know what is going on with that? Are they making any changes to their site at the moment or did they shut it down? Does anyone in here have any answers? Thanks Frschoonover (talk) 23:36, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Website? 

message: This article says that no "groundswell" of fantasy films occurred following the release of "Conan the Barbarian." That is demonstrably untrue, as the decade quickly saw such major fantasy films as "Ladyhawke," "Legend," "Willow" and "The Princess Bride."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.118.229.114 (talk) 19:21, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inaccuracy 

message: I have some objection to this passage:
"In 2011, Alexander resurrected the original logo, presenting a classic Fangoria look, coupled with illustrated covers and a bottom page filmstrip that Alexander freely admitted to 'borrowing' from long defunct monster magazine Castle of Frankenstein."
As I mentioned above, I used to edit Fangoria, so I lack the objectivity required to just wade in and edit here, but the fango filmstrip motif was originated by me -- Robert "Bob" Martin -- in bald tribute to Castle of Frankenstein magazine, which was designed by Bhob Stewart. Chris dropped my film frames early on, and then brought them back. I don't hav any reference except the magazine itself -- you can see the film frames on the cover of issue #7 from three decades ago! Alexander didn't borrow it fropm CoF -- I SWIPED it decades ago!  Bustter (talk) 00:02, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  I've got a horse in this race 

message: There's been a few controversies over the past few years or at least the last year, so I thought it'd be good to have a section for them. I don't want to add anything without having enough RS to back them up, so I wanted to ask if anyone could help look for sourcing. The two main ones I can find surround Alexander writing his own review and not being open about it at the beginning, and Lianne Spiderbaby plagiarizing articles. I've found a Bloody Disgusting source about Alexander and a little about Spiderbaby, but not much so far. Because controversy sections can be well, controversial, I want to have some substantial coverage. Anyone up for helping? Here's what I found so far, but the issue is that not all of them mention Fangoria: (, , , ) Tokyogirl79  (｡◕‿◕｡)  10:37, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
