I don't see the need to delete debates and as noted before, it would cause problems when linking to earlier debates. And it would be harder for newbies to figure out why "their" article was deleted. The whole point of archiving the debate is to keep it accessible for people within Wikipedia (including non-admins).
We should just make sure AFD debates are kept out of google. If we adjust robots.txt or whatever we need to adjust to manipulate Google bots, we don't even need to anymore.

Can robots.txt use wildcards?
Not according to the Robots Exclusion Standard, so no.
