Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Acacia Strain
First, this nomination is illegitimate. If the previous people who worked on the article failed to add sources, that is a reason for others to expand and improve the article, and NOT a reason for deletion. The nominator also said "if none exists" (key word is IF) meaning that he/she didn't do good-faith research before nominating. These are all obvious violations of #1, 2, 3, 9, and 10 of , making this whole AfD useless except for the fact that now the rest of us know the article needs improvement. As for this band, they have an acceptable level of coverage at http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=THE|ACACIA|STRAIN&sql=11:dvfoxqraldae~T0 AllMusic, where the Charts & Awards tab notes their several placements on the charts, a fact that is easily verifiable at http://www.billboard.com/#/artist/the-acacia-strain/620189 Billboard. I also found a few other sources and added them to the article, plus a few edit and cleanup tags, which didn't take much more time than writing this vote
