Discussion of coal given to “bad” children missing

The notion of Santa giving coal to "bad" or disobedient children, in their stocking, is nowhere to be found. It's referenced in one of the sources but not included in the article. Cyberbytli (talk) 15:56, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a discussion of predecessor figures punishing bad children. If we mention coal, we would need some context for when/where this belief emerged, and where it exists today. GreatCaesarsGhost 14:15, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Redirect

If you search, "Hohoho" or "Ho ho ho", It brings you to Santa Claus#Ho, ho, ho, Which #Ho, ho, ho isn't actually a section on this Wikipedia page, What it should redirect you to is Santa Claus#Laugh. Even at the top of Santa Claus#Laugh it says, "Ho ho ho redirects here." when it doesn't. Gregory3890 (talk) 07:21, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note, @Gregory3890. I added an {{anchor}} to the former ==Section heading== name, which should fix it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:26, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Beliefs

Haven't read everything but it seems like this article was written of the beliefs of the user who made it, or making it seem Santa Claus is 100% not real. There are lots of people that believe Santa Claus is real, including me (there also seems there are good reasons Santa is real). Also, one of Wikipedia's rules include not making articles based on your own opinion. —Tonkarooson (talk) 02:14, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Tonkarooson, there is a Santa Claus. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:46, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nice to see another person who thinks Santa Claus is real, but the topic is talking about how the article seems to be typed out from a biased perspective. —Tonkarooson (talk) 00:26, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps we should have a section on Age appropriateness. It is age-appropriate for a three year old to believe that Santa Claus is a corporeal person with magical flying reindeer. It is age-inappropriate for a twelve year old to believe the same thing. Anyone over the age of 12 without obvious intellectual disabilities who genuinely believes that Santa flies to every house on Christmas should win a Neuropsychological assessment, with particular emphasis on the overly trusting strain of autism that can't recognize when he's being exploited or bullied by his "friends".

No scientific evidence to be real. Would treat this article similar to articles concerning religion.
