== Definition Problems ==
This article is confusing to a layman, and needs the attention of an expert. Specifically, what is the definition of "largest cold mass"? [[User:Noclevername|Noclevername]] 10:26, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Line 7 ⟶ 11:
Not only is this confusing, it's directly contradictory of itself. Rossheth 18:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 
== Original Research?==
:I do not believe that any authoritative source has defined the word ``supergiant planet``, although the term has been used in a few scholarly publications. (Unlike the term [[supergiant star]] which has an accepted definition.) [[User:Vegasprof|Vegasprof]] 11:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 
(I am copying here my remarks at [[talk:planetary mass type]].) If there is any authoritative publication defining this term, it is not cited in this article. If it does not exist, this article should not be in Wikipedia. The term supergiant planet appears a few times, but very rarely, in the scientific literature, but always (as far as I can determine) in an informal way, i.e., without a definition. It would be very nice to have a classification scheme for planets, and I'm sure many will be seriously proposed, eventually. But at present, there are too few planets known. Before anyone came up with words like "giant star" and "supergiant star" and the like, many thousands of stars were known. When thousands of planets, their masses, radii, etc., are known, then it will be time to sensibly classify them. [[User:Vegasprof|Vegasprof]] 22:03, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 
:PS: I am guilty of using the term ''supergiant planet'' on a fantasy website, which I believe is no longer up. There is at least one other fantasy website that uses the term. But, that is irrelevant to a serious encyclopedic article. [[User:Vegasprof|Vegasprof]] 22:03, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
