There's absolutely no ban against that.

NPOV is a property of the Wikipedia and articles, not editors.

In other words, users adding a POV to an article or articles in the
Wikipedia in general (provided it's a reliable source's POV, not your
own, and provided you don't deliberately make unbalanced articles) is
an entirely normal part of the Wikipedia and is indistinguishable from
promoting that POV.

The problems come when you remove other notable POVs or you
overemphasise your POV relative to sources.

But that doesn't seem to be what's happening here; I don't see signs
of breach of NPOV.
