Not meeting WP:NPOL. Just being a Deputy Mayor of a city is not enough to demonstrate notability. Available online references about the subject are mostly from local news agencies. Not meeting WP:GNG. Hitro talk 08:23, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:RS. Just being a Deputy Mayor of the twelfth largest city in a country is not enough for a Wikipedia article. A majority of sources are from local news agencies, not from major, national news agencies, as required. Lefcentreright  Talk  10:23, 8 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. Deputy mayor of a city in the 30K population range is not a role that guarantees passage of WP:NPOL #2 just because the person exists — it's a role that would require him to be the subject of a lot more nationalized reliable source coverage than this is actually showing. Two of the four footnotes are just photographs of him, not substantive prose content about him, and the two which are actual prose journalism are purely local — but every municipal councillor in every city on earth can always show two pieces of journalism in their local media, so that does not represent enough coverage to hand him a GNG-based exemption from having to pass NPOL. GNG, as always, is not just "anybody who's gotten their name into their local newspaper(s) twice for any reason whatsoever": it tests the sources for volume and depth and geographic range and context, not just for n>1.

 * 'Delete - fails my standards and based on our recent past practice should be deleted. There's insufficient evidence of general notability. FWIW, I've been to Croatia twice, and have never heard of this town. Bearian (talk) 15:22, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:RS --SalmanZ (talk) 22:11, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
