  I want to register 3on3.wordpress.com but it says that this already exists. But other message is that the 3on3.wordpress.com is deleted by author.

  Can i register 3on3.wordpress.com in order to promote 3on3 basketball in Nepal.

  NO – once a name has been deleted it is gone forever even from the original owner – WordPress.COM does not recycle names.

  You will need to find another name or domain map a custom name – how about 3on3nepal??

  Once a blog is deleted the sub domain URL cannot be reused by the party who deleted it or anyone else. This support entry stats why there is no recycling of blog names at WordPress.com > http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  As auxclass as said you can register another WordPress.com subdomain URL. Also note you can purchase a domain name and domain mapping. If you do purchase your own domain and domain mapping then it won’t matter what the root blog WordPress.com subdomain URL is.
