Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crunchy Frog
Grossly inaccurate if not outright false nomination statement. The assertion that the subject "can only be sourced to primary sources or other sources sponsored by the creator" is palpably ridiculous and easily refuted; it's clear that none of the advocates of deletion bothered to do a minimally adequate  effort. Just clicking on the NYTimes link in the AFD header immediately turns up a relatively lengthy 1976 piece which selects the sketch as a paradigm of Pythonesque humor and sets it out in detail, with comments. A basic Gscholar search turns up dozens of references, ranging from a statistics text to a scholarly book on classical music which describes one of Offenbach's works as "the unwanted crunchy frog in the box of operatic chocolates." Other Gsearches turn up all sorts of places and entities named "Crunchy Frog," all taking the name after the sketch was widely known, in homage to it, clearly demonstrating real-world impact. The several uninformed delete comments serve mainly to show the level of intellectual sloth that pervades AFD these days, an corrosive opposition to knowledge that increasingly damages this encyclopedia day upon day upon day. So, once again, strong keep (and don't frost with glucose! This nonsensical proposal should not be sugarcoated
