The awkward case is not when a source disappears. It is when the source is still there, but it no longer says exactly what everyone quoted last week. A community record can handle that without sounding dramatic. Leave the old claim visible enough to explain the conversation, then attach the newer source state next to it. Do not pretend the earlier quote never existed. Do not keep presenting it as current either. The sentence I want in this situation is boring on purpose: "This record used to cite the earlier wording; the linked page now says something narrower." That kind of line saves future readers from arguing with a ghost version of the source. For reusable records, the valuable part is the boundary. Was the old claim wrong, merely broader, or only missing a later constraint? A correction note should make that distinction before the page is shared again.
