Non-notable. Played only one season of college ball with average numbers and was unknown before his death, which, while tragic, does not automatically establish notability. sixty nine  • speak up •  01:39, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Death is receiving a lot of coverage..for now I will be neutral, let's see with time how much more coverage he gets, like Len Bias. Antonio The Captain Sexy Martin (dime) 04:06, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment With all due respect, there's no comparison between the two. Bias was twice an All-American and was the #2 overall draft selection by the then-defending NBA champions, among other accomplishments. McElvene received any kind of extensive media coverage only after his death, and that was mainly because of his age (20). sixty nine   • speak up •  04:57, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, Bias had already met WP:GNG at the time of his death by virtue of his stellar college career. No comparison. Rikster2 (talk) 01:45, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
