  There is a blog domain that was deleted and I am interested in using the domain name and URL. Because there is no activity on that blog, is it possible for me to take it over?

  Specifically I want to use PseudoScientific.wordpress.com
  According to https://pseudoscientific.wordpress.com/ it no longer works and I wanted to take it over.

  Thank you,

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

  pseudoscientific.wordpress.com is no longer available.

  The authors have deleted this site.

  I’m afraid there’s no way for you to get hold of that URL. Deleted blog addresses are never recycled as per WordPress.com policy.

  You’ll need to pick a different address, or see if can register the one you want as a custom domain and then map it to your WordPress.com address.
