Want already used domain name
-
I want to use a certain domain name for my new blog but it is unavailable. I searched the URL, but the blog has been deleted by your site. Since it is no longer in use is there any way for me to claim it?
it is ‘megmag.wordpress.com’
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Site deletion is a permanent and irreversible act. There are at least 3 warnings including an email verification link sent that must be clicked to delete a blog URL. https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
I am sorry but you cannot register a deleted blog URL. No one can use a deleted blog URL regardless of who registered it. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here and you can confirm by reading:

Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.

No.
Addresses (URLs) for blogs that have been deleted by the owner will remain deleted. We cannot, under any circumstances, allow someone to take over the address of a blog that was owned and deleted by its original/previous owner. Please do not submit support requests asking us to do this.
Fortunately, there is an infinite supply of unused blog addresses, so our policy should not limit your address selection. Note that if you add a custom domain for use with your blog, the original ‘wordpress.com’ domain/URL is never visible to your readers for as long as the custom domain is used on your blog.
