[arin-tech-discuss] Trouble deleting obsolete route objects from ARIN routing registry

[Mark Kosters]

Hi Axel

We've looked at your submissions and why they failed. Change your
instances of "source: ARIN # Filtered" to "source: ARIN". Your route
objects should then be deleted.

Regards,
Mark Kosters
ARIN CTO
