"These people" Who are the people you are referring to? So far I seen one person say he isn't Kage level. That's it.

In fact, I explicitly stated that Itachi was Hokage level and no one disagreed. So why are you complaining yet again?

I also stated that Itachi is no where from being beyond Kage level tier. No one is downplaying Itachi. We just see the facts for what it is.

We have Kimimaro: Easily S Class.

Konan: Seeing as she technically is the only one who actually killed Obito in all the series with only her wits, and with her abilities I put her at least almost Kage tier (I'd even argued to say she has a chance of beating Tsunade in a 1v1).

Then Orochimaru, who is explicitly stated to be Hokage tier.

All against him. The balance of the scale obviously isn't in Itachi's favor.

Also why even mention Minato, Sasuke, or Madara?

P.s. You act like Itachi fans don't go to the extreme, "Kishimoto said he had to kill Itachi cause he would beat Madara in an interview" < Just one example of false statement that stormed the internet.
