  Hey there.

  I’d like to start a new blog at wordpress. However, I cannot use a specific address name I like because it says “it already exists”. But that’s not true. The blog address I’m refering to has already been deleted by the authors.

  My question is: Why can’t I use that address name since no one is using it? :(

  Thanks.

  We do not reuse or reassign blog names on WordPress.com. Please refer to this support page for more information:

  Keep in mind, we also offer an upgrade for custom domain names and you can use any WordPress.com blog URL underneath a custom domain. For more details about how domain mapping works, see this guide:
