I referred to PII in inetnum objects descr: fields
These fields are not protected by RIPE's privacy protection
like contact or person
inetnum: 91.114.x.y - 91.114.x.y
netname: A1TA-AT
descr: A1 Telekom Austria AG (originally my full name)
descr: Arsenal Obj 24 (originally my street)
descr: 1030 Vienna (originally my postal code)
When you view the history of this object my PII (full name, street and
postal code) is still visible in the description fields.
Removing this PII information in the descr: field of the inetnum object
can only be achieved by deleting the object, which removes the history
as well.
For this reason it would be beneficial if deleting an object also
deletes its history.
I apologize for not beeing clear enough.

Hi,
the deletion of an object together with it's history is the only way to
remove PII from the RIPE database which is in conflict with GDPR. This
PII is usually in comments and contains full name, often together with
postal code, city, street name and sometimes with house number.
A choice "delete with history"/"delete and keep history" would serve
both use cases.

Hi,
According to
https://apps.db.ripe.net/docs/Types-of-Queries/Historical-Queries/
, historical query doesn't return data on deleted objects. This
behavior makes it difficult to distinguish whether a resource was
squatted on / analyze history associated with abuse on the resource.
And it is not consistent with other RIR's whowas behavior.
Currently on RIPE whowas UI unallocated and deleted objects look
exactly the same.

Last time the discussion came up appears to be
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2013-November/004195.html
Can history support for deleted objects get implemented?
Thanks.
