Domain name is taken but not in use?
-
I’m trying to register a new blog. The domain name I want is apparently already taken, but when I go to the url, it says that the author has deleted the page. So is it up for grabs or does it still belong to the original author?

Site deletion is a permanent and irreversible act. 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:

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