Deletion of Bill Scripture

Comment: WP:ATHLETE does not state that minor-league players are by definition non-notable; it only means that being a minor leaguer isn't enough to be considered notable. A minor leaguer who gets multiple non-trivial mentions in reliable independent sources as Scripture has still passes , just like anyone else who gets multiple non-trivial mentions in reliable independent sources
