In my experience, no.
Apologies to Merit RADB, it was BGPmon that never responds. Merit
RADB actually does respond--my frustration is more about the
difficulty in getting them to delete stale objects that others
registered, although I was finally able to get my objects cleaned up.
That's an inherent problem with the IRR system (and I am still a big
proponent). There is every operational benefit from entering an object. The
object augments policy. But, what is the benefit of removing an object? It
doesn't operationally benefit (size of prefix lists, etc. aside) anything.
I would prefer that people who proxy register, also proxy delete when
services are terminated. If wishes were horses....

For RADB, I was able to get them to delete a stale object 2 weeks ago. Only had to copy them on an email to the original source and wait 24 hours. I wish it was less because we are the netblock owner of the stale route object in question.

Happy to look into this for you. We should (and normally do) follow-up
on all support requests (support @ bgpmon).
Regarding route objects:
BGPmon syncs twice a day with all IRRs for route objects. Route objects
that haven't been seen in the IRR for more than 48 hours are deleted
from our local database (cache so we don't hammer the IRR).
Could be a bug, happy to look into this but the issues doesn't
immediately ring a bell.
I'll reach out to you off-list as well to see what's going on.
Cheers
Andree (BGPmon)
