:I'm okay with that, but I suspect some might be opposed to it. This is intended to be a child-safe/family-friendly site, but perpetuating a fairy tale doesn't seem to me like something we need to do. If we can have dozens of articles on sexual perversion (some is gruesome detail), this doesn't seem like a stretch. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 13:13, 15 July 2020 (EDT)

::I understand, but any kind of encyclopedia (conservative or otherwise) is supposed to give facts. For some topics, it is debatable what is considered as a fact, but there is no doubt that Santa Claus is not living, and many reliable (and conservative, if you wish) sources mention it. I don't intend to get involved in the more controversial articles of this site, but I do believe that this article should make it clear that Santa Claus does not exist. If kids are able to understand the difference between conservatism and liberalism (and other political viewpoints) and find this wiki, then they are mature enough and should learn that Santa Claus does not exist. Also, this and the corresponding Wikipedia article are at a high enough reading level that little kids would not find the article and read it.

When you made your first edits to this article, Felix, you had to insist three times within the first two paragraphs that Santa wasn't real, when a single use of the word "folklore" had already established that. Secondly, the sources you used describing the presents laid under the tree were all from liberal sources, two of which were completely negative, and one of which the reader cannot see unless he's got a subscription to the New York Times. So please explain why you feel those edits are so critical - your words - that they have to be here. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] ([[User talk:Karajou|talk]]) 16:14, 15 July 2020 (EDT)

:I think "imaginary" is a clearer and simpler word. It would make the article accessible to more people without having to look it up in the dictionary. [[User:Félix An|Félix An]] ([[User talk:Félix An|talk]]) 17:40, 18 July 2020 (EDT)
