is a need to have a stub page left there to guide people to the fact that there was a prior debate, then create that stub fresh, with the history gone. In the event it is needed, the history can always be resurrected by some admin.
Why delete (instead of just replacing the debate with a notice, perhaps even protecting it that way, without deleting the existing history) unless there's some compelling reason? Non-admins also ought to be able to go back and look at the debate.
