Cause of death gives the balanced views of various experts. Please note that although Nichopoulos, Presley's main physician, was at the time "exonerated of criminal liability for the singer's death, ... His license was suspended for three months. It was permanently revoked in the 1990s after the Tennessee Medical Board brought new charges of over-prescription." Consensus among regular editors who judge it important to preserve a reliable, mainstream view in this encyclopedia article is that the discredited doctor's opinions, such as those published in his 2010 book, and including his attempt to emphasize constipation as the likely cause of death, should not be propagated by Wikipedia, and hence receive no coverage in this article.
I'm okay with keeping the criticism part, but not without also including things like a December 2020 comment he made where he called him the second coolest person he ever met. That's what he claimed in December 2020. I want a neutral editing which can include both praise and criticism.[1]
I am not the original person to include this even more reliable NME source which was found by another editor. Paul McCartney credited Elvis for being one of the inspirations the Sgt. Pepper record even in 2007. I thank them greatly. [2]Speakfor23 (talk) 19:17, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There's too much stuff about the Beatles and McCartney. It's moving too far into pop culture mode. Excessive detail is not needed; see WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Stuff we add should represent the broad literature on the topic. Binksternet (talk) 20:07, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why there is not a separate article for the death of Elvis Presley. If there is an article for the death of Marilyn Monroe, there should be an article for the death of Elvis. DementiaGaming (talk) 22:06, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are you volunteering to work on one? Dimadick (talk) 12:35, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If people think we should create an article about it, I volunteer to do one. DementiaGaming (talk) 21:19, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It would have to be significantly longer and more detailed, it could not simply be a copy and paste of what this article says.--♦IanMacM♦(talk to me) 07:49, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
