non-notable musician, the Statesmen inspiration hub is user generated, the rest of the sources are copied from a press release despite not being identified as such and are otherwise unreliable and there is no actual coverage to be found. The Deccan Chronicle coverage is laughably bad and is clearly not subject to any editorial oversight. Praxidicae (talk) 14:01, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Praxidicae: how do you come by your conclusion that [1] and [2] are press releases? ~Kvng (talk) 13:41, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Did you actually read Deccan Chronicle? They also often republish user submitted nonsense and press releases as journalism without identifying it. It's also just slightly different wording from 3 other sources. I also said they're unreliable. Are you expecting our readers to believe DC is reliable after reading that particular piece? Specifically, the second paragraph... R&M allows guest posting under their "rnmteam" name (which is why it doesn't actually identify any editorial staff) and can be bought for pennies. R&M also specifically states that they don't take any responsibility for content, so I don't know how that could possibly be considered an RS. In any case, my original point still stands.

The Deccan Chronicle could be understood as promotional/PR or an enthusiastic Indian reporter working on mastering their American English voice. For integrity and since there's no byline, I guess we should assume the former. ~Kvng (talk) 14:37, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
