In a summary buffer, there is:

,----
| A S runs the command gnus-sticky-article, which is an interactive compiled Lisp
| function in `gnus-art.el'.
| 
| It is bound to A S, <menu-bar> <Article> <Make article buffer sticky>.
| 
| (gnus-sticky-article ARG)
| 
| Make the current article sticky.
| If a prefix ARG is given, ask for a name for this sticky article buffer.
`----

Also, have a look at the manual:

,----[ (info "(gnus)Sticky Articles") ]
|    This implies that it's not possible to have more than one article
| buffer in a group at a time.  But sometimes you might want to display
| all the latest emails from your mother, your father, your aunt, your
| uncle and your 17 cousins to coordinate the next christmas party.
| 
|    That's where sticky articles come in handy.  A sticky article buffer
| basically is a normal article buffer, but it won't be reused when you
| select another article.
