Answer 1

Deleting is similar to what you have for adding. The suggestion to change to using List is a good one, but it CAN be localized to your DeleteMember() routine.

Try something like this (edited):

public void DeleteMember(string name)
{
    if (ML == null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(name + " had not been added before.");
    }
    else
    {
        int memberIndex = ML.ToList().FindIndex(p => p.Name == name);
        if (memberIndex == -1)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(name + " had not been added before.");
            return;
        }
        List<Person> tmp = new List<Person>(ML);
        tmp.RemoveAt(memberIndex);
        ML = tmp.ToArray();
    }
}

If you change Person[] to List as suggested by @Wiktor Zychla, this code should work well:

public static List<Person> ML = new List<Person>();
public static void DeleteMember(string name)
{        
    var deleteMe = ML.Find(p => p.Name == name);
    if (deleteMe == null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(name + " had not been added before.");
    }
    else
    {
        ML.Remove(deleteMe);
    }
}
