As far as I know, an AS Number can not be returned to the free pool/deleted from the RIPE Database unless all referencing route objects have been deleted. Any route object referencing a deleted AS Number is a broken object and should be deleted.
Therefore, the discussion here is not about references of returned AS Numbers in route objects but more about references in other types of objects (see below).
Thanks for helping bring some clarity to this thread.
I think that publishing a list of referenced AS Numbers would be a good first step in the clean-up. This way, any "concerned netcitizen could parse the list and fix their records".
