Decesed group members 

I've seen a few articles where band members have their name, sollowed by (deceased).  Whats wrong witht that?  It's just a little extra information for people who do not already know this.  Surely this is the main reason such the articles exist in the first place, or even why the whole wikipedia site exists!  What's so bad about adding this word after people's names if they are no longer with us?  It is factual, non-opinionative and does not slate them in anyway.
