WP:PROMOTION for a WP:NN and recently established spa. There's a city with the same name and it's also an old name for naphthalene, so it's a bit hard to search for, but I couldn't find any references in reliable sources. The only references in the article are to the spa's website and a press release republished in a local tourist guide. Pburka (talk) 02:13, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * weak keep or Defer - I'm not sure it really is nn - most listed spas are quite small, and this one has an unusual attribute in Napthalene. I find it hard to assign notability to any sort of quack remedy, so am not sure how it is judged for spas.  I think it could be as notable as any other spa.  Yes, it reads like self-promotion, but has it been bannered for improvement before being AFD'd?  I can't see any evidence of that.  I think this is rather a heavy sledgehammer if it hasn't.  The number of contributors in the Balkans is far lower than in other parts of Europe, and the same standard of maintainence can't be expected.--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 15:20, 4 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep, but obviously clean up elements of excessive promotion. The topic is notable enough, mainstream Croatian newspapers Večernji list and Jutarnji list occasionally cover it and don't talk about it in terms of novelty, and it has an official status because the Zagreb County is its founder (it's not just some random commercial venture). --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 17:22, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per Joy. Promotional cruft can be eliminated via normal editing processes. Bearian (talk) 17:23, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
