Can a POV article be NPOV?[edit]

I am trying to understand this with the help of experienced editors. What exactly is a NPOV article? If you have an article about Donald Trump, say, based entirely on far-right sources who have never said anything bad about the man or his actions, all the sources will agree. Doesn't that create an erroneous impression of NPOV?

If you agree that it's erroneous, then why is it OK to write an article on Narendra Modi, for example, that repeatedly and almost exclusively cites sources who have never written anything positive about him, and have written lots of negative critical things. There are also reputable sources that don't agree with Modi's critics. Is it NPOV to ignore them?

My issue is NOT about Trump, or about Modi. It is about the technique of creating a fraudulent NPOV impression by selectively citing only references that support a particular POV. I can cite other examples. Sooku (talk) 09:29, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
