Merge?[edit]

First of all, their archived website says their first edition was published in 2002 (not 1993). It contains past issues up to issue no. 10 from October 2003. This short item from Index.hr mentions the "editorial staff of Hrvatska ljevica" attending funeral of Stipe Šuvar on 1 July 2004 so I guess they might have been in business up until 2005. In any case, there isn't much to say about its run - it seems to have been a party magazine like any other - so it would make sense to just merge what we have into Socialist Labour Party of Croatia.

The magazine Hrvatska Ljevica was private property of Stipe Šuvar and never was it formally the party magazine of the Socialist Labour Party (even if it was frequently described as such) and ceased to exist with the death of its owner. The magazine indeed started publishing in 1993 but it was not put in electronic form until much later. I have paper editions starting from 1998. So I am against the merge.

Well since the Socialist Labour Party itself was described as Šuvar's private party, the distinction seems moot. But the issue here is the potential of this article to develop beyond a stub. Does it have any? Timbouctou (talk) 18:22, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Public (in other words media) perception is not the law and it is not matter of serious historiography as Šuvar was one of the 12 founders of the party and left the party shortly before he died. Also his successors (ie. his wife) had for many years after legal disputes with the party. From my point of view Hrvatska Ljevica deserves a special article as it had a rich history in those years, it was the first publication to make public the lists of names of people killed and disappeared in Sisak during the 1990-1995 period for which some of the then important people were recently arrested including Đuro Brodarac, for this the paper was sued by Ivan Bobetko and was fined for a sum of 50 000 kuna. If this and other data are not good enough it should be merged with the article Stipe Šuvar.Raskiy (talk) 14:27, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is plenty of evidence that the magazine was published in 1993, and that it wasn't simply a party organ. It was independent and collaborated with many of the leading left-wing academics in Croatia and the rest of the region. It was even singled out by Amnesty International (as seen in one of the references) for its significant work in uncovering war crimes, for which it received an unusual, severe financial punishment. It has an important place in the history of publishing in post-war Croatia and the rest of the ex-Yugoslav region.

In light of the recent improvements and expansion of the article, I think this discussion could now be closed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.229.105 (talk) 19:52, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
