while being a senior producer/reporter is great for a resume, it doesn't confer notability. There is very little to no coverage of Weissmueller himself, instead all the sources are written by him.

Keep, long reviewed article. Not all pages need to be more than a stub, even for a biography of lesser notability, but still notable by the standards set forth for new page review. ♥Th78blue (

I am convinced we can delete this one then for now until better or more sources present themselves. I am not expert on the actual deletion of an article. Can someone instruct me on how to do that and I will delete this one if no one else protests? ♥Th78blue (

Delete. I agree with Praxidicae that the lack of independent sourcing is the main problem here. Aside from the non-independent sources currently cited in the article, all my search was able to find was a few passing mentions in the press—that falls well short of the in-depth coverage in reliable independent sources that
WP:BASIC and
the GNG require. Glad to reconsider if there's something I'm missing, but it seems to me that Weissmueller doesn't clear the notability threshold at this time.
