Procedural nom, as my prod was just contested by an IP with the explanation that Toopy and Binoo is notable—but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. There is some coverage (e.g., [1]), but it's local (NB: CBC News has many local affiliates and publishes news from on all of them on one site.) I don't think the subject of this article meets WP:NCREATIVE or WP:BASIC, but would appreciate a consensus at any rate because this has been tagged for notability for 8 years.

Keep: I found lots of profiles in newspapers over two decades: "Puppeteer gets a big hand: Left Hand of Frank is comedy hit of The Fringe" (Montreal Gazette, 1994), "Puppeteer plans to cut off Left Hand" (Calgary Herald, 2005), "Sounds like fun: Frank Meschkuleit put life into Treehouse characters" (Windsor Star, 2011), "Cartoon characters spring to life for little Edmonton fans" (Edmonton Journal, 2012). — Toughpigs (talk) 18:07, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Toughpigs. Looks like this is yet another sign I should really apply for Newspapers.com access on WP library …… AleatoryPonderings (talk) 18:45, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's super helpful. You'll like it. :) — Toughpigs (talk) 18:59, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw. Toughpigs' sources look like WP:THREE to me. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 18:46, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
