It's IME usually what people mean when they talk about "space elves." See Vulcans.

Minbari aren't depicted as more graceful or dexterous than humans. Minbari are stronger and more durable than humans, though they don't often show that in the series.

My first reflex would be a dismissive "space Elf" too but I suppose a case could be made for Minbari being more an enlightened space Orc - maybe something like the Irda of Dragonlance, a strong but arrogant and potentially brutal species with high intelligence and an enlightened culture
