That's not "my" definition. Pick some textbook on particle physics and read what an elementary particle means, I'm not going to repeat definitions again.

The Standard Model of particle physics summarizes all kinds of elementary particles, which don't include hydrogen. When you use the terms "like", "your" you really leave a bad impression about how much you know about physics.

Hydrogen is not a particle, do you understand? It's a chemical element which contains elementary particles, therefore, it's not an elementary particle i.e. not simple, as defined before.
