There are two things, which require attention. The first one is the success_url of the ArticleDelete class. Where would you want to be redirected after an article has been deleted?

The second issue is in the {% url %} tag. You are correct, you need to pass article's pk, however you have a mistake passing an argument. Here is the link to the documents, which could help.
