Absolutely dead-on. If you didn't bother to find your sources, and
someone else challenges your material, they can and should remove it
if you fail to back it up. Sourcing is a -requirement- once a
challenge is made (and presumably we are talking about a scenario in
which some form of challenge is made, given that if no challenge is
ever made, no justification is ever needed from anyone.) To preempt
that, it is best to find sources BEFORE adding material (why would you
be adding material without finding it in a reliable source anyway, and
why not cite it if you have it?), but if one's material that -was-
added without sourcing is challenged, one is responsible to either
provide such sources or not obstruct removal until and unless sourcing
can be found.
