- Keep: I originally voted merge, but I’m changing my vote to a keep due to the extensive coverage and amble number of sources found by Arxiloxos. A keep outcome is completely justified. Also, here is a more recent source from the Huffington Post [1], which should demonstrate that the film has received coverage from a wide frame of time.

- Keep. Time and paywalls have eroded access to the sources of the day, but searches show (in snippets, unfortunately) that this legendary bit of agitprop was covered at the time it was made [2] [3] [4] (and it won at least one award [5]); was remembered later on [6] [7]; and received substantial international coverage when it was rediscovered. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]. The writeups are mostly brief because—well, because it's a one-minute short about Mickey going to 'Nam and quickly getting his head blown off—but it's a significant artifact of the antiwar movement, and a memorable work by the unquestionably notable Milton Glaser as well as by the possibly notable W. Lee Savage (he doesn't have an article but there's coverage [14] and his work has been collected by the Smithsonian [15]). While I appreciate the merge suggestion, I think there's enough here to support a separate entry. -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 15:02, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
- Wow, I completely missed those. I've changed my vote to a keep accordingly, as this article has more than enough coverage to justify a keep. Spirit of Eagle ( talk) 16:59, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
- Keep per coverage meeting inclusion criteria. And JDDJS... not being an official Disney film is not one of our deletion rationales. There is no shame in a withdrawal. Cheers, Schmidt, Michael Q. 04:07, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
