  I want to use a site name that has been deleted. How long does it take to release the site for use again?

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

  It will never be released. Simply stated you can’t register any deleted blog URL because deleting any blog URL is a permanent and irreversible act, just as the multiple warnings required to accomplish site deletion clearly state. Once the verification link for deletion is clicked the blog URL is forever gone, gone, gone.

  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.

  Was it a site that you had ownership of? Was it a WordPress.com website? Or was it another domain that you had owned from another registrar?

  Unfortunately, once a WordPress.com blog domain has been deleted, it is not recycled. Which is why WordPress has a 3 step warning system and an email with a verification link that must be clicked in order to complete the deletion process.

  Here is the documentation about recycling blog addresses:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  There are a few routes that you can take-
  You could create a blog with a similar name:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/

  Or you could upgrade and purchase a domain. Once you have a domain you would be able to map the domain. What this will allow you to do is set up the name that you are looking for and have it point towards your primary website.

  For more information in regards to domain registration and domain mapping, I have included support documentation:

  I didn’t mean to seem like I was parroting. I was writing my response and at the time I had started writing there were no replies to the post. And by the time I finished writing and posted the reply it was after you. I did not mean any disrespect.

  Okay then understood :) Know that I did not think that was the case as 38 minutes was the time span between our comments

  P.S. I checked the threads you have commenting in and it appears that you are another Staff wannbe so I will steer clear and ignore all overlapping comments in the future. :)
