- Reason
- It is true that the original video quality is only 240p, however I think its historical value as the first video ever uploaded to YouTube vindicates it. As far as I am aware, restoration or remastering is unnecessary since this is how the video was originally uploaded. The video was also selected as media of the day on Commons.

- Support - I've pulled the link to the archived version and confirmed that the video was under a CC-BY license on the attributed date. This is a historical artifact, with a good article on it, and a very important piece of the internet timeline. We've previously featured File:Trojan Room coffee pot xcoffee.png, which was in its native resolution, so there is precedent for resolutions lower than "minimum" for works such as this. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:07, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
