Comment. There was indeed a village here, and records can be found in old censuses. It had 141 residents back in 1953
[1] and even a school class in 1963
[2] but it started downhill from there. It is mentioned in the book "Depopulation in Croatia"
[3] having only 4 residents in 1991 and it's apparently abandoned by now.

A google search of this toponym shows a page
[4] 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 [
hr (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. --
