Doesn't seem notable; no article for this song on jawiki, most of the sources are YouTube and this article just seems like pure cruft wizzito &#124; say hello!  18:00, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep Was covered on CNN Newsroom. Doesn't get much better than that as far as reliable sources go. Mlb96 (talk) 00:20, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. This reminds me of the time someone tried to claim 867-5309 was non-notable. Even ignoring the many covers, remixes, translations, and videos of this song, Sladen's comment on the previous AfD about the significance of this song in the demoscene still seems to be relevant. —Twice Nothing (talk) 08:58, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Think the comment in [ Articles for deletion/Bad Apple!! ], still stands—though it is nearly 100 edits later and editing has changed the article significantly, perhaps losing the importance of the music/video as a "test card" for computing hardware: previous revisions of the article had a list of the music/video ported to TI calculators, Oscilloscopes and various 1980s computing hardware—where the demoscene/"standard test item"-aspect was more visible.  —Sladen (talk) 11:54, 5 October 2021 (UTC)  Would probably benefit from some illustrations of the shadow-puppet imagery for context…?
 * Keep. The subject has been covered enough to satisfy notability guidelines Was covered on CNN Newsroom, meets WP:GNG·Mahdiar86 (talk) 21:41, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. The original song was not particularly notable, but over time it has became a very notable standard test item, much in the same way as the Lenna image. Jpatokal (talk) 10:11, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
