  I wanted to create a website at adress https://elavion.wordpress.com/ , but it turned out that it was already taken. However, from what I can see, the website was created in 2006 and there was no activity whatsoever by the page’s creator- it looks to be the raw template. Is it possible for that adress to be made available again so I can use it?

  Hi there,

  There is no expiration date on .wordpress.com blogs unused, reserved or otherwise. If you can make contact on your own with the owner of an unused blog via a contact form or commenting, then providing the are agreeable there is a means of a consenting blog owner to transfer the blog to another username account. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  In the case that there is no contact information Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.

  If you are not successful, 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.
