  Hi there. Deleted WordPress.com URLs are never released for re-registration. Even if you were the one who deleted that URL you won’t be able to register again.

  Here is the official support doc on this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You can also read the explanation by another volunteer on why this was implemented in this thread: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/absurd-undelete-policy?replies=20#post-2318740
