  I want to buy winenomad.wordpress.com but it’s saying the domain is not available even though when you go to the page it says it is.

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

  winenomad.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  No it is not “available”.

  I am sorry but you cannot claim a deleted blog URL. No one can use a deleted blog URL regardless of who registered it. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here. 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.
