"Around 200 years after Nicholas's death, the St. Nicholas Church, Demre was built under the orders of Theodosius I" - that cannot be. If Theodosius (r. 379-395) indeed ordered its construction, it's plain wrong - that could only have been decades after N.'s death, not 2 centuries! Also, no source is indicated.

No Muslim in the world says that Santa Claus is originally from Turkey. The mentioning of Turkey in this article is not necessary and gives the impression that Saint Nicholas has historical and cultural ties to Turkish people. Compare this to Paul the Apostle who was also from modern-day Turkey but his article says nothing about Turkey.User99998 (talk) 09:22, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Text on this article is currently cited to an article by Jona Lendering [1]. My question is: is this a reliable source? It's currently being used to argue in favor of Nicholas being present at the Council of Nicea.--Ermenrich (talk) 00:37, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
The earliest surviving account of the three dowries, in Michael the Archimandrite's Life, says Nicholas delivered the second bag of gold only after the first daughter was married, and the father decided to wait (at least two "nights") for the third bag after the second daughter was married. This Wikipedia article gives the impression that the three bags were delivered on consecutive nights. Is this a violation of WP:BLP, or has everyone involved died? :-) 208.53.226.77 (talk) 02:49, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
@Félix An and MrOllie: – This is edit warring and needs to stop NOW. If and admin sees this you are both at risk of sanctions. Leave the text in the status quo ante and bring the discussion here. Note that WP:3RR refers to a 24-hour period, not a date. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 16:12, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
No sections about Saint Nicholas' other alias' Kris Kringle & Pelznickel? I was thinking of adding this in, wanted to know some peoples thoughts on this. Here is an interesting article detailing how the different name variants came to be from the Dutch. Eruditess (talk) 23:59, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
Can be included per MOS:ALSO. I would suggest a brief annotation that explains it is under the patronage of St. Nicholas. Elizium23 (talk) 09:55, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
Why Saint nicoles is called Santa Clause 103.204.132.38 (talk) 14:34, 23 February 2022 (UTC) probably since the santa claus story is commercial and make cocacola pretend to BE the holy priest would not have been accepted by the public.
Not sure why the story that was reported one thousand years later is given more than a very brief mention; no historian would consider such a source, given that they generally won’t even consider stories first reported 100 years later than the event these days. There is a comment elsewhere that asks why any of this is accepted, given no reports were found till hundreds of years later, and the article states exactly that; perhaps the whole thing should be labeled “lore”, and leave it at that.
