 * Comment. There was indeed a village here, and records can be found in old censuses. It had 141 residents back in 1953 and even a school class in 1963  but it started downhill from there. It is mentioned in the book "Depopulation in Croatia"  having only 4 residents in 1991 and it's apparently abandoned by now. No such user (talk) 07:54, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - formerly populated place so passes WP:GEOLAND, article does need improving, though Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 09:57, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
 * A google search of this toponym shows a page on the Croatian Bureau of Statistics website which sadly doesn't seem to support deep linking, but does allow one to click through and search their database to confirm continuous settlement between around 1900 and around 1981 (happening to peak at 271 inhabitants in the 1953 census), and that in 1981, this place became a hamlet of Blažević Dol (which still has a comparable population today). A search on https://geoportal.dgu.hr/ which is the map website of the State Geodetic Administration (another Croatian government entity) easily confirms the location. We have gazetteer articles on existing villages with much smaller population, so it stands to reason that there is sufficient potential here to keep this one, too. Worst case it can later be redirected to the existing place's article, when that one in turn gets created. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 17:46, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
 * For a future reference, the DZS website allows you to save a query ("Spremi pretraživanje") and retrieve it by URL (works in Edge but not FF): http://www.dzs.hr/App/PXWeb/PXWebHrv/sq/d522b4ea-ad2d-4a2f-bbf3-31100af7850b As a matter of fact, we have a quite long, unsourced and contextless List of former populated places in Croatia.

 * Keep. Appears to have once been a recognised settlement, so passes WP:GEOLAND. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:16, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
