Funny you mention VW because the 914 is a VW. In fact, the name was originally VW-Porsche 914 from what I remember. A buddy’s dad bought one for $4K when they came out.

Designed by Porsche, built by VW. Called plain "Porsche" in the U. S., "VW-Porsche" everywhere else.

The 914/4 was a four cylinder VW built by Karman, the 914/6 a six cylinder built by Porsche in Zuffenhausen.

and unsurprisingly article authors one is a 4 cyl vw but he keeps insisting "This is a Porsche"

Probably because the author’s U. S. title says “Porsche”. What is your disagreement?
