  This website is an abandoned WordPress.com site using the professional name
  “Lorraine Nolan” and is no longer authorised or maintained by her.

  It is causing brand confusion and misrepresentation, as the official and
  current website is https://www.lorrainenolan.com.

  I am requesting that this site be removed or disabled.
  

  I am exercising my Right to Erasure under GDPR as this site contains personal
  data that is no longer accurate, relevant, or authorised.

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

  Hi,

  The fact that the above request by username diarmuidjkeane automatically produced the statement “The blog I need help with is: lorrainenolanmusic.wordpress.com,” indicates that this username is the owner of that site. Therefore, username diarmuidjkeane may delete the site by following the steps in the Delete a website support page.

  As the OP only created that account a month ago I doubt it is connected to the site in question. They will need to be logged into the lorrainenolanmusic account to delete that site.

  @themagicrobot,

  Thanks for catching that. Inserting username lorrainenolanmusic into an author archive URL at https://lorrainenolanmusic.wordpress.com indicates that this username may be the site owner. I’d arrived at a false conclusion, based on a mistaken assumption.

  @diarmuidjkeane,

  I’d called for staff attention to the topic. Staff will respond here.

  Hi there,

  Thanks for reaching out! The site lorrainenolanmusic.wordpress.com is linked to a separate WordPress.com account, so we’re unable to make changes to it without first verifying ownership.

  If you’re the owner of that site but no longer have access to the account, here’s how we can help:

  • Try recovering access following the steps on our Account Recovery page: https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/
  • Alternatively, you can email us at passwordhelp@wordpress.com directly from the email address associated with the account and we’ll take it from there.

  Once we can confirm ownership, we can help you regain access so you can delete the site in question.
  
  Let me know if you have further questions!
