  We are looking to build a website using a specific domain name, the current owners have now deleted their site and I was hoping to get in touch to see if they would be happy to release the domain name, but can’t seem to find a way to get in contact with them?

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

  Once a site URL is deleted it can never be reused at WordPress.COM, so contacting the former owner is a waste of time

  Hi there. First, if they’ve deleted the WordPress.com address then that address is gone. It wouldn’t help you to contact them, as no one, they included, can ever use that address again: http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Besides that, WordPress.com will under no circumstances provide you with the contact details of the owner of any blog. The only way WordPress.com will release that type of information is if ordered to do so by a US court, so even if it could help, there’s no way for you to get that information.
