Maybe it's worth asking the user, since deletion is permanent? This is
done in gnus-summary-delete-article if gnus-novice-user is set. Since
that's the only occurrence of that variable in gnus-sum.el, maybe you
could just set that variable in nnir groups?? Or maybe you want a
customized question: "Deleting articles will delete them from the
original groups. Proceed?"

I'll let others answer this part.
