Yes, my problem is a bit different. But just a little :-)

I recall now. The problem is that I have special expiry-target. So
when I delete an article, it goes through the expiry process (is it
supposed to be like that?) and ends up in my archives, which is
clearly not what I want. So moving to trash is a perfect solution for
me.

You sure haven't :-)

(lambda (&optional n)
    (interactive "P")
    (flet ((gnus-yes-or-no-p (args) t))
        (gnus-summary-delete-article n)))

This is what you meant (I think). I'm no LISP guru, but the first
version didn't work :-)

It was in the initially proposed solution.
