You can't remove the reference to an ASN from a route:/route6: object - you 
have to remove the whole object.

let me to correct myself: "I saw no information inside proposal to remove the resource objects that
referenced to deleted ASN". Any route object is illegal since the ASN does not exists.
As it seems to me, there're two solutions:
- to delete illegal resource;
- to replace reference inside those objects to the placeholder ASN

The first solution is more correct

RFC1786:
=========
The value of the origin attribute will be an AS reference of the form AS1234 referring to an aut-num object. It represents the AS injecting this route into the routing mesh.
=========

RIPE-252:
=========
1.2.16 route

... The "route:" attribute is the address prefix of the route and the "origin:" attribute is the AS number of the AS that originates the route into the interAS routing system. ...
=========

No ASN - no route object.
