  Hello, not clear in your support documents… the name I would like to use, goldenrule.wordpress.com, has been suspended – no indication of how long ago. Any chance it could be reassigned to me to use for my business? Just a yes or no is fine. Thank you.

  Hi @avidflyerforsale – Domains are not recycled, you will not be able to use goldenrule.wordpress.com for your business, sorry.

  When a site URL is suspended for violating the Terms of Service I would not want to register it.

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. 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.
