Just can't find enough English references to confirm WP:GNG. I suspect that this person is more of a Croatian political activist (than a writer), and that en references are therefore hard to find, however could also be someone promoting their own platform. Am open-minded on it. Britishfinance (talk) 18:57, 26 January 2019 (UTC) Britishfinance (talk) 18:57, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. A non-notable activist and writer. I believe his books, listed in the article, are all self-published. He is mostly known for his incident with Ranko Ostojić, and this is not sufficient for notability. GregorB (talk) 10:15, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - I am on the fence about this one - we need to see more sources. This article has a high potential to be a POV/COI problem, but I could see it being notable with a little more coverage. But that coverage is likely not in English. Skirts89 21:55, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Give us a source that we have not seen, or point to a specific RS that moves you to keep, and we can all try to assess it. thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 22:08, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This interview is in Croatian, which makes me think there might be significantly more outside of English language coverage. The article itself has lots of comments and seems like a significant site (I realize interviews do not always contribute towards notability, but worth throwing out there). https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=hr&u=https://www.logicno.com/politika/intervju-marko-franciskovic-hrvatska-je-provincija-eu-birokratskog-monstruma.html&prev=search Skirts89 22:27, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Definately seems like a political activist type. The issue is still that this source, Logicno is not an RS for GNG.  I feel like there are scraps and pieces but no material RS that marks him out as noteworthy (e.g. major interview in a major paper). For a political-BLP, you should be getting a few of these.

 * I believe you may be right, there needs to be more coverage for him to qualify under WP:AUTHOR. I think I'm willing to change my weak keep to a delete if this source isn't an RS. Skirts89 22:35, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * That is where I got to as well. thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 22:38, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete the sources I've found: (in which he's commenting in a political state about creating the death penalty for treason against former presidents, and in which he is only referred to as a "candidate";  (a quote on a post on an apparent fringe website whose current main article is how the HNZ and SDP have turned Croatia into a private corporation); and some posts about his institutionalisation . He did have a lightly attended book tour. It at worst fails WP:GNG and at best fails WP:FRINGE, since he's not portrayed well by any reliable source.
