There's nothing demonstrating this is significant for Ryan, Crystal, or Sweeney. --Hipal (talk) 17:36, 17 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

The significance is that Ryan and Crystal are both returning to their most iconic roles for the first time in 37 years.

It is notable enough that it received substantial press coverage, and is routinely mentioned as part of their career in articles about them:

You may not think it is notable, but the media disagree with you. I would agree that it is not especially significant for Sweeney, but given the notoriety and iconic quality of the scene, it is worth mentioning even in her bio.

It cannot be considered PROMO if we avoid mentioning the sponsor entirely.

I would ask you to stop leaving inaccurate comments on my Talk page; it has stepped over the line into WP:HARASSMENT.
