  Hi,
  I want to create a blog with the name soultalk.wordpress.com
  The authors have deleted this blog, so its no longer in use. In that case, why am I unable to use this name? Help!
  Blog url: http://reverts.wordpress.com/

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Deleted blog URLs here are not recycled. Click the second link below to find out why.

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

  You can register your own domain by purchasing a domain mapping upgrade and then it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.

  A simple search of the forums for “deleted blogs” would give you the answer. Deleted blog names are never recycled at WordPress.com
