Not if they are available in another server.

IIRC, when removing a server, the following should happen:
- the server info is removed from ~/.pan2/servers.xml
- one of the newsrc-x file is removed (the x number refers to the server number 
defined in servers.xml)
- article reference to server is removed from groups/ files
- orphan articles (not referenced in remaining servers) are removed (I'm really 
not sure about that one).

I have not understood your question.
