So in my free time I was looking up Christmas related movie, one of which is Miracle on 34th Street my favorite, and I notieced that Edmund Gwenn is credited as Kris Kringle . No problem there. But later when I looked Kris Kringle to see other related Christmas movies I came across another character page labeled Santa Claus . My first thought was someone just created an extra file, but I wanted to know what the community thought. Is there a difference between the two and which is your preference?

I don't think there is a different. I'll go ahead and delete the Kris Kringle page and combine his movies with the Santa Claus page.

I'm not sure which came first, but I'm agreeing with you, Santa Claus is the preferred choice.

@the_referee: Based on a quick google search, it looks like Santa Claus is the American version of Kris Kringle, who is German.

I guess that clears up everything, Thanks! and Merry Christmas!
