  Hi!
  I would like to have tkaucic.wordpress.com as my blog web address since my username is tkaucic. It says it’s being used by someone else, but the webpage is deleted by author(s). Is it possible to take that domain since it’s not used anymore?

  https://kaucic.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  Be aware that site deletion at WordPress.COM is a permanent and irreversible act. That is why there are multiple warnings to that effect that one has to ignore in order to delete any wordpress.COM blog. https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  I am sorry but you cannot register a deleted blog URL. No one can use a deleted blog URL regardless of who registered it. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here and you can confirm by reading:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  However, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
