  HI,
  I am interested in a domain that the website said was not available when I signed up, however when I search for the domain, it is not active because the users have deleted it. How can I go about obtaining this domain?

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

  Blog deletion is a permanent and irreversible act http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

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

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
