Draft talk:Kaushik–Guddu

Proposed Fixes: Removing Promotional Tone and Adding Citations

edit

I have disclosed my connection to the subject (I am Kaushik Das, the owner/subject). I propose the following changes to address the reviewer's concerns regarding **neutrality (NPOV)** and **inline citations**.

I have focused on providing reliable, independent, and secondary sources for all major claims.

Neutrality and Peacock Terms

edit
  • **REQUEST 1 (Removing Promotional Language):**
   * **REMOVE:** "Kaushik–Guddu are known for their distinctive ability to create music that balances emotion, innovation, and mass appeal."
   * **ADD/REPLACE WITH:** "The duo achieved the highest new entry on Spotify's Top Artists India chart following the massive success of their song 'Deewaniyat'." [1]
   * **Reason:** This removes promotional language and replaces it with a verifiable, neutrally stated achievement supported by an inline citation (Ref 9 in the draft).
  • **REQUEST 2 (Attributing Praise/Subjective Language):**
   * **REMOVE:** "They have since composed chart-topping songs for major Bollywood films, establishing a reputation for creating emotionally resonant melodies."
   * **ADD/REPLACE WITH:** "Their work has been described by the *Indulge Express* as 'usher[ing] in a new wave in the Bollywood music scene'." [2]
   * **Reason:** This removes promotional language and attributes the subjective opinion to an independent, named source, complying with NPOV policy.

Inline Citation Fixes

edit
  • **REQUEST 3 (Adding Citation to an Unsourced Fact):**
   * **LOCATION:** At the end of the sentence in the 'Musical Style' section: "The viral hook line for "Deewaniyat" was performed by the composers themselves, a spontaneous decision made during recording."
   * **ADD/REPLACE WITH (full citation code):**
       ```wiki
       [3]
       ```
   * **Reason:** This adds a proper, full inline citation to a verifiable detail in the draft, addressing the general lack of inline citations.
