Not exactly either.

Marking as expirable just marks it as expirable, it doesn't delete.

The expiry process will expire any articles that are marked expirable
and are older than expiry-wait.  This is similar to (1) above.

Total-expire removes the need for the expirable mark.

With total expire, articles that are marked read and are older than
expiry-wait are deleted.
