You're describing a problem different from Per's, so it's not
surprising that my suggestion doesn't help you - it wasn't aimed at
your problem.

So you want to apply different treatment to articles from the same
group, but you don't like the existing key bindings for doing it?
Why don't you just bind gnus-summary-delete-article to another key?
Or, if you don't want to be prompted, bind this function:
(lambda (&optional n)
  (interactive "P")
  (flet ((gnus-yes-or-no-p (lambda (&rest args) t)))
    (gnus-summary-delete-article n)))

Or something like that.  I've never used flet, so I'm not sure I'm
doing that correctly.

It isn't.  It's used to mark an article as read.
