Level3 won't let us advertise our netblock because RADB shows it owned by Telkom South Africa, but it's clearly assigned to us by ARIN. I've raised a question with ARIN, could really use someone there that could expedite. On that note, when ARIN re-assigns networks, shouldn't they clear out related entries in the routing registry?

Why would ARIN do that, or do other work for you like making sure that
the space wasn't listed in DNSBL's, or my local filters?
You got the space. It's in your lap to go contact RADB to fix the
entries.

Because they don't control entries in the Merit RADB and hassling them
won't get anything removed from there.
Why not send an email to radb-support@merit.edu instead, and ask them to
delete the entry in whois.radb.net?

Already spoke to Merit, their response "That's what ARIN is telling us. They correct their Routing Registry, ours will change to match"

What does the source attribute on the object say? If it's RADB then
Merit should be able to help you get the objects cleaned up. But if the
source points to ARIN then the original object data is stored in the
ARIN IRR you'll have to bug ARIN to get the object cleaned. The NRTM at
whois.radb.net should pick up the changes.
"...That's what ARIN is telling us. They correct their Routing Registry, ours will change to match"
You are getting caught into a loop here....
May I suggest that you take a closer look at the RADB record and determine which registry it was created by.
Your earlier statement implied that the Record was created in (Merit) RADB, however your above statement implies that Merit is telling you that the RADB entry is originating from ARIN RR..
I know ARIN RR is maintained by ARIN, and I am very sure they will help you remove the record.
