This note investigates the possibility of converses of the Weyl theorems that two conformally related metrics on a manifold have the same Weyl conformal tensor and that two projectively related connections on a manifold have the same Weyl projective tensor. It shows that, in all relevant cases, counterexamples to each of Weyl's theorems exist except for his conformal theorem in the 4-dimensional, positive definite case, where the converse actually holds. This (conformal) 4-dimensional problem is then solved completely for the other possible signatures.
