Non-notable former actor who's wikipedia page has received so little attention that even the vandalism bots haven't done anything to revert the vandalism that replaced any sort of info about the actor with a "needs help" notice for an autistic boy.

Delete and redirect to Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker. It looks like Thorne's only major role was for the SNDN movie - his role in the Bill & Ted sequel looks to be pretty minor and it wouldn't really be enough to justify being a notable role. Normally I'd say that we should keep the article history in case something happens to establish further notability but it's unlikely at this point that he'll return to acting and more importantly, the article's history has some content that reads like nonsense at best and at worst is just sheer attack content. I've cleaned this out, but to be honest there's not anything currently in the article that couldn't be easily recreated in a few minutes if there is any future notability.
