  I want to create a blog with a name that already exists, but it has been deleted by its authors. How can I take that name? The domain I want is solowod.wordpress.com, and it is not currently being used.

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

  Hi there
  I am sorry but you cannot claim 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:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/.

  The only option for you is to buy the domain solowood.com if that is available and use that as an alias for your site liftsarnia.wordpress.com or something else that you may create.
