I have a similar definition

Elite is the highest class to me

Therefore it includes about 4-6 players usually

When you consider the quality of players even outside the top 64 I think we are often too harsh on these players. They are the elite 128 in the world after all.

Usually 4-6. Sometimes 128

I also don't think making the top 6 of the OOM alone means a player is elite.

Wes Newton was ranked in the top 6 of the PDC OOM once upon a time. Yet I never considered him elite due to his absence of TV titles.

So Andrew Gilding is elite as he has won a TV major?

Yes

You need to do it on TV

Chisnall is 5th in the 2023 rankings but only because of Pro Tours
