Probably, yeah. Though I'd like to point out that Santa Claus isn't a "mythical" counterpart to a "real" Saint Nicholas; he is also a perfectly real person in the ''Doctor Who'' universe, whom several Doctors were friends with. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:56, October 12, 2018 (UTC) | Probably, yeah.

That’s why I used air quotes. Like from a real world perspective, Saint Nicholas is a historical figure and Santa Claus is a mythical figure inspired by him, amongst other things. In the DWU, Saint Nicholas is also a historical figure, however Santa Claus is a separate entity, despite being based on the mythical figure inspired by Saint Nicholas.
