[edit] The "Elvis" in Elvis Mitchell

Earlier versions of Elvis Presley (e.g. this one) said: Elvis Mitchell, the former movie critic for the New York Times, was named after Presley by his parents. Is this true? If it's true perhaps it deserves mentioning in the article about Mitchell. Meanwhile, I've deleted it from Elvis Presley. -- Hoary 13:54, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stature and Hairstyle

This remark that "Mitchell has become a recognizable figure in the popular film industry due in part to his work as a screenwriter, but also because of his six-foot frame and full head of dreadlocks" is being deleted as silly, irrelevant, vaguely racist and not provable as true. Being six feet tall is not so notably different as to differentiate him from most American men and combined with the note of his "full head of dredlocks" this just reeks of intimating that he is some big, scary-looking black man.
