Certainly not.
There is a distinction between God that made and gods that
are made. All abovenamed (Santa Claus, Oberon etc) are [mere?] products of human imagination (even if the prototypes really existed), some kind of subcreative act, and may be considered as gods at all only if they are beleived on a degree when one who created (in a sense) them (human) starts to worship them. As far as I know Oberon may have been feared, or admired, but never have been worshipped. So I must assume he is a King of Faerie (If it's really him to be called so), and therefore
not the God. As for Santa, one can call him a mess, a joke, a nursary-tale hero, but not a god certainly.
