Incarnations of what?

[edit]

The London Magazine (2019) claims to be established in 1732 ("Est. 1732" is the subtitle of its website, or of its logo) and claims a history that includes four incarnations. Its brief online "History"[ref name=TLM.org] does not provide evidence for those claims. What should be the scope of this article, and what role should the current magazine self-portrayal have here?

1840

Today I inserted section 1.3, 1840, which introduces another magazine/periodical --the second such, among now six covered here-- that TLM does not claim as its own.

1875–79

Section 1.4, 1875–1879, concerns a magazine/periodical that TLM does not claim as one of its incarnations. The earliest version was inserted mid-2014 under heading 1875-1877/78. Previously this article covered the four incarnations that The London Magazine (2019) claims. In five years it has been expanded, now with three sources. Its last line has been multiply tagged without comment (quote):

  • The London again ceased publication with the issue dated 5 April 1879.[12][when?][dubious – discuss][citation needed]
