100% for it. we credit the artist of the song and the beatmap creator, but not the creator of the background artwork.

will maps be dq'd for incorrect or missing bg source?
1. No-link: The artist may sign their name in a different way than their @s. This makes it harder to track them down without any links. To fix NSFW cases, I suggest putting an NSFW warning next to the credit, rather than eliminating links entirely.
2. Anime screenshots and promo: Some map backgrounds come directly from anime. Who would you credit? There are multiple people drawing those and you'd have to find out which one(s) drew it (that is, to credit properly according to these guidelines).
3. "unless sourcing the creator is exceedingly difficult": In that case, maybe it's better to not use the background at all. It's disrespectful to the artist to be using their artwork and yet not even knowing who they are.

anyway For maps which use sources that do not have links like a frame from an episode or such, should it just be something like "from Show Name - Episode xx" then? Probably would be difficult to source stuff like that
Not hard to get your map ranked and then delete from your description though. Not that anyone would do that but it’s hard to enforce at that point
Easy thing to do if this does happen is for a QAT or staff member to edit the description and add the bg source in, and then lock thread so it can't be edited, however this would obviously not really be realistically possible to keep track of for all maps, unless osu!staff have a record of all edits that go on in a specific forum (in this case, the ranked/approved beatmap forum).Hobbes2 wrote:

Probably would be difficult to source stuff like thatyeah im thinking of what to do for cases where there's no source to link back to because its from a video, in that case I would say saying it's from xx anime or whatever is fine since you would be crediting the BG's source. these edge cases could use some refinement as they come in for sure.Not hard to get your map ranked and then delete from your description though. Not that anyone would do that but it’s hard to enforce at that pointi guess yeah that's the risk of having something in the RC that's editable post rank. I don't think anyone would really go as far as to do this but you never know. Not sure what can be done about that.

well, if i can get the source then i would 100% list it, but sometimes i can't really be bothered to find the source, because pixiv doesn't exactly pop up in google "search image", it's kind of difficult to actually find it.
maybe adding this to the code of conduct as a guideline would be better?
