The problem here is that using a custom method without further configuration there's no way the routing system can find the article based on the "title_slug" parameter, because the field actually doesn't exist on the database. The best way to do it is using the "Sluggable" behaviour of Doctrine. It automatically creates a "slug" field on your table based on a field (or fields) you configure. So, when you create an item, it automatically fills that field with a slug of the fields you configure (in this case, the "title" field). Then, instead of using "title_slug", you could use directly "slug" as the route parameter. The routing system would find your Article based on that field (because now it exists on your Article table).
