I need to delete a question .
I need a telephone number and email address for customer service that works -because it keeps telling me to look online, but it has no answers.
Is there a way of speaking to a yahoo customer service member in person???

Only open questions may be deleted. Once they are in voting or resolved, they become the property of Yahoo and go to their archives. They even stay there if you quit YA entirely.
To delete an open question go to your profile, go to "my questions". Click on the question you wish to delete, underneath it click "+", then click "delete question".
Option: According to the YAT (yahoo team) questions may be deleted upon request by you which are violating the TOS or community guidelines. One example: if a YA newbie asks to send info to his/her mail account and posts the factual mail address, he may realize too late that spammers start flooding his mail account after finding the address on YA. In that case a mail could be sent to: y_answrs_team@yahoo.com (the missing e is intentional), the mail should include a link to the question which you'd like to get deleted with an explanation for the reason why.
