Fails WP:N and WP:NBIO (only mentioned in Croatian diaspora websites and receives a passing mention in a single book). Half of it is written in a foreign language. Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 16:58, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As the nom notes, the subject doesn't appear to meet WP:NSOLDIER (in that major isn't a particularly high rank, and the Order of Petar Zrinski and Fran Krsto Frankopan is not Croatia's highest military award for valour). However, as far as I can tell, the subject meets WP:GNG. In that there is substantial coverage of the subject in relevant news sources. Including three articles in which the subject is the primary subject published by what we state to be Croatia's "leading media" outlet, 24sata. And several about or relating to the subject published in the Večernji list daily. And at least a few pieces broadcast by Croatia's main national (state?) broadcaster Hrvatska radiotelevizija. While some of these Croatian language are at least a little jingoistic, and English language sources thin on the ground, based on a WP:BEFORE review, it seems to me that GNG/SIGCOV is met. Mine is a "keep" recommendation... Guliolopez (talk) 20:52, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
