I happened to notice this AfD just as I added a reference to a journal article written by this person to an English Wikipedia article. D'oh! :) https://www.bib.irb.hr/pregled/znanstvenici/20735 shows 112 entries: 50 journal articles, 18 articles in convention proceedings, 14 summaries from conventions, 10 other papers, and 9 book chapters. https://www.google.com/search?q=site:en.wikipedia.org+Zdravko+Dizdar seems to indicate over a hundred references. The article lists an award, hr:Nagrada Ljubica Štefan, which seems a bit recent and isn't particularly well known in Croatia, though. However, a generic search finds me a fair bit of general notability, with some coverage in Jutarnji list [1], BBC Croatian [2], Index.hr [3], etc. He appears to be generally recognized as a relevant historian in Croatia, and if we can have an article on Barbara Radulović, we can keep this, too. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 18:06, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment. WorldCat[4] seems to suggest he has ten different books, several of which have gone through multiple editions (up to 11). Tends to suggest successful reviewed books, just hard for English speakers to find the reviews. Espresso Addict (talk) 17:02, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Joy; a historian with a sizable body of work and overall coverage that passes the WP:GNG threshold. I've also found a journal review of one of his books. On a side note: WP:NACADEMIC, interpreted strictly, is a ridiculously high hurdle compared to e.g. WP:NFOOTY. The notion that a country like e.g. Croatia has 10x more notable footballers than notable academics leads to reductio ad absurdum, therefore the degree of scrutiny (such as what counts as "a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed") should be adjusted accordingly.
