Fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. Almost all the sourcing is not third party but speedway related. LibStar (talk) 01:30, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep. The fact that the sources are related to the speedway does not make them non-independent. Per WP:GNG "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. These sources could be considered affiliated with him if, for example, he were their owner. I would add a few more secondary sources   Tau Corvi (talk) 22:01, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment: I saw the RSN discussion first, so I do not plan to vote, but to give my opinion from my limited perspective. Having taken a look at Scunthorpe Scorpions, which looks like two different teams on one article, I can count about five dozen riders that have articles.  Of the "Notable riders," most of them use "speedway related sources" in their articles with British Speedway cited between two and three dozen times.  (More problematic, but farther outside of the discussion is that at least one article is citing sources that are MREL and GUNREL.)
 * Overall, the issue over the specific sources is going to have an effect on other articles. If deemed a problem, then there will need to be more AfD discussions in the near future; while if deemed acceptable could lead to additional article creations.  I am of the opinion that redirects to the team articles could be more preferred than deletion and that some information might be includable in the various team articles.  That said, I am unsure if the sources are a problem on these rider articles.  --Super Goku V (talk) 06:19, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
