::: ''Well''… to be entirely honest, the folkloric Saint Nicholas who goes about on the white horse with the long white beard and the bishop's hat and gives out oranges is… pretty much as far removed from the historical figure as Santa Claus himself. Though I see what you mean. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:20, October 12, 2018 (UTC) | ::: ''Well''… to be entirely honest, the folkloric Saint Nicholas who goes about on the white horse with the long white beard and the bishop's hat and gives out oranges is… pretty much as far removed from the historical figure as Santa Claus himself.

I agree. Given the Kramus two-parter, the historical Saint Nicholas certainly needs his own page. It also gives some context to his influence on later mythology, and a mythical Saint Nick apart from the modern Santa Claus from the anglophone world.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 06:45, March 12, 2019 (UTC) | |||
