[edit] Proposed move

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.

Clearly This should be moved with a {{for}} link at the top of the page. -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy

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)

[edit] Fangoria Comics

The last attempt at starting Fangoria Comics was speedily deleted despite looking fairly solid [1] 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:

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))

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fangoria issue 07.png

Image:Fangoria issue 07.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
