Alex - just create the route object in the correct database.

Why help proliferate rogue or stale route announcements? It is outside
RIPE’s scope to facilitate hijacks and increased risk to one business’
operations through incorrect routing information registration.

If you can’t create the route object, perhaps you aren’t authorized by the
owner of the resource and have no business creating such objects.

This is no different than configuring the wrong DS records at the domain
registry level, or generating TLS certs for the wrong hostname, or
misconfiguring your firewalls or routers. Misconfigurations lead to issues
- news at 11.

Kind regards,
