Removed deletion notice- this band is being confused with an irrelevant one of the same name, an article about whom was deleted in 2006. This is about the popular New Zealand band with over a million monthly listeners on Spotify.
CONFUSION- THIS ARTICLE IS NOT ABOUT THE BAND OF THE SAME NAME FROM SOUTHHAMPTON. IT HAS BEEN TAGGED FOR DELETION DUE TO THE OTHER BAND HAVING THEIR ARTICLE DELETED FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. --Aubernas (talk) 09:15, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Consensus to move to Leisure (band) (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 10:41, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose per the WP:MOSTM this should be at Leisure (band) unless independent sources use the stylization in question. So far no evidence has been provided that they do and in fact the one independent source currently provided uses leisure.--65.92.160.124 (talk) 19:04, 30 January 2021 (UTC)]
- Move to Leisure (band) if not an all caps name in independent sources otherwise support as unnecessary disambiguation. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:09, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- OK, per Born2cycle support as proposed as 1st choice otherwise move to lowercase. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:00, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose obviously Move to Leisure (band) was going to say "Delete and salt until notable to prevent recreation". but maybe this Jul 31, 2019 https://www.metromag.co.nz/arts/arts-music/leisure-nz-music-auckland-metro article can be supplemented with other sources? @JIP: do you have any other sources? And note that the one source which exists says Leisure (band) not caps. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:49, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - Shouldn't this be at "Leisure (band)" per capitalisation rules? HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 06:03, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
- It should be unless it’s demonstrated that a significant number of reliable sources regularly use the capitalized stylization but so far the evidence is learning in the opposite direction.--65.92.160.124 (talk) 08:06, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support per usage in almost every source I can find; they’re using LEISURE. Variance Sniffers Clash Music Happy Mag NME.com Nettwerk —В²C ☎ 12:28, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
- The problem with citing the stylisms on these promotion-piece websites is that context makes clear it is a (band), which ELEPHANT, ZODIAC, SODASTREAM doesn't. Don't get me wrong I want to frustrate and misdirect readers as much as the next editor and make Wikipedia a giant article-content guessing game, but here 3rd party sources are using "Leisure (band)". In ictu oculi (talk) 17:45, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The source cited in the article uses "Leisure", and so does the band's own website, on this page in the merch descriptions. Move to Leisure (band) instead. —ShelfSkewed Talk 14:14, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Move to MOS:ALLCAPS and ShelfSkewed. — BarrelProof (talk) 17:25, 1 February 2021 (UTC)]

Notability
This article is definitely worth keeping, and expanding greatly (including full pages about their albums and extended plays, with images of the covers. LEISURE have 1.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, far more than a few dozen other bands who have wikipedia pages that I can think of on the top of my head. The fact there was no Wikipedia page for them until now is just completely daft, and I created this one because I was tired of people complaining to me that LEISURE didn't have a Wikipedia page at all, let alone any recognition of what has become one of New Zealand's most internationally successful groups. Deleting this page would be utterly crazy and set an upsetting precedent for New Zealand's music recognition on the internet. I am determined to see this page grow and develop. --Aubernas (talk) 10:11, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
