Interesting but, isn't this exactly what
happens when you tick an article? So is there
some side-effect that is undesired for this
purpose or why don't you want to use it?

What do you mean by "set" article?

BTW `M M i' is undefined for me so maybe it is
a new feature in Emacs 25 or did you configure
that? Or just thought that is what you'd assign
to the new "important" mark? You do this with
`gnus-summary-mark'?

If you indeed got it to work, how about adding
it to some hook/advice each time you enter
a group?
