It looks like the former Allstream RADB account (MAINT-AS15290) and all associated route objects were removed from RADB today. The deletion mainly impacts Canadian route objects registered by the former Allstream (now Zayo). Q9 Networks MAINT-AS12188 was deleted at the same time.
For those interested, I think this is roughly what was deleted:
snapshot/20200302-0001/whois.radb.net$ awk 'BEGIN {RS=""; FS="\n"} /MAINT-AS15290/ {print $0 "\n"}' radb.db > MAINT-AS15290.2020.03.02.txt
file @ http://instituut.net/~job/MAINT-AS15290.2020.03.02.txt
I'm sure RADB staff can restore was appropriate if they are contacted.
Kind regards,
Job
I know that ARIN had some IRR related issues in the last week, but you may want to move objects there if feasible.

RADB MAINT-AS15290 was restored this morning along with all the original route objects. The proxy route objects I added Tuesday were replaced by the original MAINT-AS15290 objects.
For those who don’t follow Canadian ISP mergers/acquisitions, Q9 was acquired by Bell (AS577) in 2016. Not sure to what extent they’ve been integrating its network into the larger nationwide Bell network.
I’m curious if there’s a reason that objects are not being placed in the ARIN IRR? It’s free to use to ARIN members and is mirrored by all the major players.

The ARIN IRR doesn't support an API interface like the RADB IRR. I hear that ARIN is working on an API, but I don't know the timeline. I don't want to go back to email templates.
I actually ended up writing a python script to send ARIN's robot IRR updates because I got tired of dealing with the email templates. An API would be a fantastic improvement.
