Thank you for responding. I do not believe that I have two Cloudflare accounts.
I never heard of Cloudflare before September 28th, when I created my first account there and selected the domain name “1635.org.” It is a free, full-service account.
The two nameservers beginning “ivy” and “trace” showed in the ICANN WHOIS Lookup results when I searched for the registrar of the 1635.org domain, as I understand is the way to begin updating the nameservers. As I understand the Lookup results, Cloudflare is the registrar of my domain. To my memory, I have never tried to create this domain anywhere else.
The other two nameservers, begininng “dion” and “maria,” are identified on my single Cloudflare account’s Dashboard as the “assigned Cloudflare nameservers” that I should use to upgrade nameservers, which I understand is the single remaining step before my domain will be activated.
So I tried to add the “dion” and “maria” nameservers to the DNS Records in my Dashboard, but that was rejected on grounds of “overlapping,” which seems very strange to me. But, when I added the “ivy” and “trace” nameservers to the same DNS Records, they were accepted. But the domain is not yet activated. About 8 hours ago I initiated a check for nameserver update, but have not received any confirmation of success in that.
In 4 days, as I understand, if the domain is not activated, it will be automatically deleted. I’d like to avoid that, if possible. Thanks for any constructive help toward that goal.

It looks like you might be in the wrong Cloudflare account.
The domain you mentioned is active in an account with these nameservers:
1635.org. 3600 IN NS ivy.ns.cloudflare.com.
1635.org. 3600 IN NS trace.ns.cloudflare.com.
However, it was also added to another account with these nameservers:
dion.ns.cloudflare.com
maria.ns.cloudflare.com
Is there any chance that you have another Cloudflare login? Did you maybe login with an Apple account initially?
