Picking up Deleted Blogs
-
Is it possible to pick up blog domains that others have claimed but deleted or not using?
-
Not unless the blogger wants to give you an unused one – WordPress..COM will not take a blog away from someone and give it to you.
Deleted sites are not recycled
-
It’s not possible to acquire a deled blog URL, as deleted blog URLs here are not recycled. That’s why 3 warnings are given and why a vertfication link in an email that must be clicked is sent in order to accomplish deletion.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/Blogs belong to those who registered them. There is no expiration date on blogs unused or otherwise. If you can make contact on your own then there is a means of a consenting blog owner to transfer the blog to another username account. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account In the case that there is no contact information Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.

You can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
Or you can register a domain vis a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
