Not notable sportsperson without notable sporting achievements. Sources only refer to passing mentions and sports results. Searching the internet for "Bedřich Slaný" shows other people with the same name. FromCzech ( talk) 05:35, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: The Czech version cs:Bedřich Slaný of the article says (without a reference) that he died on 11 October 1980. Perhaps a news article about him or an obituary in a reliable source was published shortly after his death. Someone with access to Czechoslovak news media from 1980 might want to search for references from October 1980. The Wikipedia Library would also be worth searching. If you find one or more useful references, please add them to the Czech version cs:Bedřich Slaný as well., Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 06:21, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Clearly notable because he competed in the final of the Speedway World Cup, the sport's pinnacle.

- The sport's pinnacle are the Olympic Games and athletes do not meet the condition of notability just by participating in them. If you say 'keep' you have to objectively demonstrate notability according to WP:GNG and WP:NMOTORSPORT. FromCzech ( talk) 09:09, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Note: The Olympic Games are not the sports pinnacle, there is no speedway at the Olympic Games as is the case for numerous other sports. For information the pinnacle of speedway is the World Individual championships (now called the Grand Prix) and the World Cup. I have since added additional references from books and Newspaper Archive.

- Of course, I meant in general that if for Olympic sports the participation of an athlete in the Olympics is not a criterion of notability, the participation of a speedway racer in the Speedway World Cup is also not a criterion of notability. The sources you have added here and elsewhere do not demonstrate notability according to Wikipedia criteria.Redirect to 1962 Speedway World Team Cup may be an alternative to deletion. FromCzech ( talk) 09:40, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect, we do not have sources demonstrating GNG is met, only passing mentions. JoelleJay ( talk) 23:40, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep for that he was one of the title clinching finalist of a world championship event.
WP:ATD will be to draftify for expansion. I agree with Pyeongchang's statement that it is the pinnacle of speedway.

- This is not a valid notability criterion. NSPORT requires GNG be met. JoelleJay ( talk) 03:05, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- "title clinching finalist of a world championship event" does not appear in WP:NMOTORSPORT as an accomplishment which leads to a presumption of notability. 5225C ( talk • contributions) 03:43, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
