  Let’s say I want to register a new blog in WordPress.com and call it “someblogname”.

  I start the new blog creation and it says someblogname.wordpress.com already exists.

  I open http://someblogname.wordpress.com to see what it’s about and I’m told that
  “The authors have deleted this blog.”
  “The content is no longer available.”

  So why can’t I have that name if the precedent owner dismissed it and erased all?
  Who can I ask for it?

  If it keeps on this way soon plenty of “decent” names will have that page…

  Thanks a lot for your support!

  Blog names are not recycled. The FAQ explains why.
