Thanks. Do you know any reference that officially confirms it? I wasn't able to find any :(

@Evandro Not that I'm aware of it. But I've seen at least 2 or 3 cases of it.

@gnat If the badge is already awarded you keep it. I'm pretty sure the script awards it at the time it checks. So if the answer gets deleted/undeleted a bunch of time, it only has to be deleted at the point the script runs.

@Mysticial I think your print is enough evidence. Thank you.

@gnat Badges are never taken back. Once awarded you have them forever. Unlike privileges, loosing rep means a loss of privileges if you fall under the threshold.

I recalled seeing this question a while back, but didn't recall the answer. I was planning on posting an answer based on my recent experience with getting the badge a long time after any activity on that post, because the first answer was deleted today....though I see you beat me to it. Have some reps (+1) :)
