Talk:Santa Claus

Geoff?

Where did the Geoff thing come from? 24.8.4.217 22:04, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

I believe that's from A Christmas Carol, where the Eleventh Doctor alleged his name was Geoff (or Jeff?). It's a fairly offhand joke, so who knows if that really "counts". -- Tybort (talk page) 22:14, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

Yep, that's where it comes from. "Father Christmas. Santa Claus. Or as I've always known him, Geoff." -- Tybort (talk page) 01:09, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

The DVD subtitles spell it "Jeff". Of course, they're not infallible, but in the absence of another source I think we can go with that spelling. —Josiah Rowe ☎ 01:29, January 20, 2013 (UTC)

Main image

Santa was in a comic, right? Then, if I understand our policies right, no cover art should be used in the main box. I shall now remove it. --OS24 04:03, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Name

As we use British English on this wiki, shouldn't this page be titled Father Christmas rather than Santa Claus? Santa Claus can be considered an Americanisation. 66 Seconds ☎ 21:50, December 19, 2014 (UTC)

Both versions of the name have been used in stories. JagoAndLitefoot ☎ 22:09, December 19, 2014 (UTC)
