  I am fully aware that this page https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/ states that you cannot recover a WordPress.com address which was deleted by someone else. However, is it possible to recover an address which *I* deleted?

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

  The blog in question is not the one listed in the above post, it wouldn’t let me post unless I selected a blog from the dropdown.

  No I am sorry. No deleted blog URLs can be recycled regardless of who registered the URL and who deleted it, and no exceptions are made. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  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.

  OK, the wording of help page (which I already linked) was kind of unclear, but all right.

  I will tag this thread to have Staff update the relevant support doc for greater clarity. Best wishes with your new site.
