If I delete an article and republish it, can I use the same title? Or is that URL reserved? I'm thinking of republishing some older articles that used to have very high traffic to keep Google happy.
That's not possibe within 24 hours. And after this period of time, you can slightly modify the title, and publsh again with unique changes. But if another writer had taken your original title, within an hour after the expiratory period to publish an article related to the one you unpublish, before you re-publish, you can't take the title back. The creating of URL is not your business. It's that of hubpages system.
No, that is one drawback of the HP system unless they recently had this fixed. You can test by creating a gibberish hub URL, delete it and try to recreate it after it is deleted and removed from your my accounts page.
Last I knew a URL once used is used forever and cannot be used by you on a new article again. You would have to delete all modules and start over if you want to preserve the URL. You can of course create a hub on a new URL with the same title.
