@ClementC. I edited the answer to underline that one must assure the source is within reach at the moment of publication. These days if something has even been put online, it is practically always reachable by various means, and it has nothing to do with the professionalism of the one who cites (again, urldate is your saver). The other thing is, if you don't trust the source anymore because it vanished in a short period of time, then you probably should get rid of it entirely.

I am not convinced by the very first line" I personally think this is not your responsibility to control the sources availability. Surely, if I cite something that is not available to the reader, this is unprofessional -- isn't it? (If the source disappears afterwards, this is a different matter; but here we are talking of a thesis currently being written referencing a resource no longer available at the time of the writing)
