Draft updated: references fixed, errors removed, additional sources added

This draft has been updated to address previous review concerns:

Removed all ISBN fields that were causing checksum errors.
Verified all DOIs and journal citations.
Removed the non-existent “Tadpole (string theory)” page from “See also.”
Kept the primary research papers but added multiple independent, reliable secondary sources (string theory textbooks, review articles).
Clean formatting with for all inline citations.

I believe this resolves the technical issues and strengthens the notability with substantial secondary sourcing. Tintin007b (talk) 20:41, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sources and Notability

This draft cites the original peer-reviewed paper by Fischler & Susskind (1986) in *Physics Letters B*, which introduced the mechanism, as well as later peer-reviewed works by Tseytlin, Kitazawa, and others that discuss its applications. The subject is covered in widely used graduate-level textbooks (Polchinski, Becker et al., Zwiebach) and in review literature, establishing notability within theoretical physics. The sources are reliable, independent, and secondary, per WP:RS and WP:SECONDARY. Tintin007b (talk) 12:30, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Spurious citation

The paper cited: Tseytlin, A. A. (1987). "On divergences in non-critical strings due to background vacuum shifts", simply does not exist as far as I can tell. Arkady A. Tseytlin, if that's who we are refering to, never wrote such a paper titled as that (not given on Inspire at least). There are some other papers related to the topic written around this time, but not this one. Not sure if this paper is an AI hallucination or what, but does seem like it.

Also had a look for Physics Letters B. 199 (4): 466–470. But it does not exist. The closest are "Λc production characteristics in proton-proton interactions at 400 GeVc" on pages 462-468, and "The nuclear symmetry energy in relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculations" pages 469-473. Doi also doesnt exist. OpenScience709 (talk) 19:30, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
