I think you are a bit confused.
There is no "common Western belief that one should drink a lot of water when
trying to lose weight".
There is a common Western belief that for good health, one should drink 8
glasses of water a day. That is what the articles were talking about.
There is also a need, when in a ketogenic weight loss diet, to drink a lot of
water (as stated by Drs. Eades).
But, most people on a weight loss diet are not cutting carbs, nor in ketosis.
