Isn't/wasn't there a website for that? Specifically aimed at athletics? Both for Olympics and world champs I seem to remember.

There was:

Unfortunately I don't think they create the list anymore because I can't access this or find London 2012.

I went back to the Athletics Rio 2016 Qualification thread and found this link, so it is probably this.

Now my only question is where can a list of IAAF selected events be found for achieving the minimum standard. Does anybody know?

We can always create our own and given how hard the standards are the list won't be as massive as 2016. We just need to take into account indoor events and additional rules for the marathon.

I think there will not be too many quota allocation via ranking as you can reach the standard during two season plus next indoor season.

One question:

The top 5 finishers at the IAAF Gold Label Marathons will also be considered as having achieved the entry standard? Correct?

So at the moment these marathons will count: https://www.iaaf.org/competition/calendar/marathon-and-road-races/iaaf-gold-label-road-races#30

Most of those athletes will either be the same or come from nations that have already qualified 3 or more athletes. We'll likely have between 1000-1200 athletes before taking World Rankings into account, more manageable than the ~2000 athletes in 2016.
