Great resource available

[edit]

There's a great source available for this article: it's a chapter written by Robert Vandenbussche in a book about clandestine press and resistance operations in the North and in Belgium. The chapter is mostly about La Voix du Nord, and is full of useful information that could be mined to expand this article, or just to provide better sourcing for it. @Egeymi and Brigade Piron:, I see you've both contributed heavily to this article, although it's been years, but if you are still interested in this topic, I urge you to check out the IRHiS full-text resource Approches d’un mouvement clandestin : Histoire et anthropologie de la Voix du Nord; it's a gold mine of information. I can probably help at some point as well, but it seemed right to give you first crack at it. I've added a full citation to the #Further reading section, to make citing it easier.

My interest in this came about via Clandestine press of the French Resistance; your contributions there, large or small, would be very welcome.

Thanks for the link, Mathglot. I'm afraid I'm unlikely to get round to this any time soon, and other than French prisoners of war in World War II I've not done much editing on French topics. There are plenty of sources available (Taylor's Between Resistance and Collaboration: Popular Protest in Northern France, 1940-45 springs to mind on the particularly violent context of the resistance in the Nord-Pas-de-Calas) and I'm afraid that hasn't really been the limiting factor... —Brigade Piron (talk) 11:02, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

La Voix du Nord has long been France's third largest regional newspaper, behind Ouest-France and Sud Ouest.[1][2][3][4] The notability of Malena Ernman's album of the same name appears a consequence of it featuring a song that competed at Eurovision. The stub indicates the album peaked atop the Sverigetopplistan chart in 2009 (achieved by the other artists whose songs competed at Melodifestivalen 2009), but when compared to the enduring notability of the newspaper I believe one is highly likely to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term, and the other is not. The newspaper has the primary topic by usage (88% of pageviews). You will be hard-pressed to find the album's usage in reliable sources, which overwhelmingly are in reference to the newspaper. Also compare the newspaper's over 400 incoming wikilinks to the album's mere 9 links. The usage makes evident that the newspaper is the primary topic. WP:ONEOTHER applies.
