MOS:EUPHEMISM
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Mark Hollis (musician), disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:48, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Verdantstream. Please take a look at MOS:EUPHEMISM as to why Wikipedia prefers to avoid using the phrase "passed away" or any of its forms and prefers "died" be used instead in Wikipedia aricles. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:50, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
