  I would like to find the exact date in 2013 that a wordpress blog was deleted. Is it possible to get this information from wordpress? They hosted the blog (example.wordpress.com) so I hope they have the date that the author deleted it.

  Thanks!

  Why do you need to know this date? Was it your blog that you refer to? Or are you trying to get information about someone else’s deleted blog? Have you searched the Wayback Machine? Have you contacted Staff directly? support@wordpress.com

  I have used wayback machine, but I’d like the official delete request date! Someone was using a blog in our name without permission, and we need to verify that they complied with a C&D request.

  WordPress.COM respects the privacy of blog owners, I don’t know if the delete date is considered public information or not. i have only seen delete dates shown when the original blog owner has a question about what happened.

  I have flagged this for staff attention

  If WordPress.COM considers delete dates as non public info then you will need to send the request for the date to the legal department with a copy of the C&D order

  Hi rwasserstrom,

  The date a blog was deleted is not public information. Before revealing any nonpublic information to a party that is not the owner of the account, we require either a validly issued subpoena, warrant, or court order that specifically requests it. You can find out more about that here: Legal Guidelines
