Cool. That's where the source link should point then.
There are a lot of deleted images on Pixiv as well, and we still use their Pixiv contextual page as the source link. Since we prefer contextual pages over direct links to an image, I think in this case linking to /h/ would probably be sufficient.
@BabyLove: You're missing the entire point of source links. Source links aren't "give me a link to this image I've already seen so I can see it somewhere else." That's literally pointless; you're already seeing the image. They're there to attribute the artwork to its original artist, just like the sources you would need to put at the end of an academic essay. Unless the artist themself does it, re-uploading the image somewhere else for a source link accomplishes absolutely nothing for this purpose. Even a dead link that points to where the image was originally uploaded is better than just re-uploading it on some random site; at least this provides information on where the image was originally uploaded, as well as that the original source just flat out doesn't exist. Since the source field is for the image's original source, that's some pretty useful information, since it tells anyone looking at the image that they won't be able to find an original source in case they're looking for artist commentary or additional images in a set.
