Non-notable talent manager, seemingly created by a SPA. This LA Times and maybe this Decider source seem to be the few with actual significant coverage of him. Most sources are interviews of or focus on his influencer clients, who are the subjects of a documentary.
Previous article was salted as a recreated A7'd article in 2020. Also see these 2 deleted drafts. Bridget (talk) 11:45, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

- Delete. A couple of sources give him real coverage (LA Times, Decider), but most of the citations are about his influencer clients rather than him, which doesn't add up to the in-depth independent coverage required. Given it was previously deleted and salted, recreation doesn't overcome that. CocoaMuse (talk) 18:49, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
- Keep - correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't 2+ sources with significant coverage make him notable? SLIDD yap 05:56, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
- Delete By all accounts a small time player looking for publicity. Come back after you have signed up Robert De Niro. Yesterday, all my dreams... (talk) 10:35, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
- Keep per the sources in the article. --NYC Guru (talk) 08:05, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
- Keep Seems like more than sufficient coverage - including LA Times, Time, Decider, etc etc. Also, for clarity, he's featured in that documentary as its secondary subject as well, and it seems like many of the articles about the documentary surpass WP:100WORDS solely about Weist.

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Doczilla Ohhhhhh, no! 03:09, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
- Keep: Subject meets WP:GNG. Weist appeared as a central figure in Jawline, a documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was acquired by Hulu, reviewed by Time, Variety, Esquire, The Hollywood Reporter, and GQ. all independently covering him by name. The Los Angeles Times profiled him directly in 2019. BOUNCER (talk) 08:23, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
- Can you provide links please? In solidarity, Gommeh (talk 🎮 sign) 14:51, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
