Sulfur jovian
This article describes a phenomenon which does not appear to have any reference besides the speculations of John Whatmough (creator of the Extrasolar Visions website). I had previously tried to fix up this article, but I have found no references for sulfuric acid-covered jovian planets. Chaos syndrome 16:39, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * See Articles for deletion/Whatmough's planet types. These aren't even Whatmough's speculations at all.  Whatmough himself used the Sudarsky classification system, as per this page, and a "sulfurous cloud jovian" is simply a (Sudarsky) Class 1 or Class 2 planet that has sulfurous compound condensates.

 * I'd say these are Whatmough's speculations - if you take a look at the planet list on his site he used "sulfurous cloud jovian" to represent planets at the warm end of class II, which makes it a speculative addition to the Sudarsky system - he explains this in more detail here.

 * Delete Utter speculation. Such a beast does not exist within our solar system, and as far as bodies in other solar systems goes, the only data we have are sizes and distances from the primary star. D e nni &#9775;  04:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
