Merged content

I decided to be bold and merge Diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn into Extraterrestrial diamonds. It does not make much sense to discuss Jupiter and Saturn apart from Uranus and Neptune, which are more solid candidates for having diamonds. In any case, the proposal by Delitsky and Baines was a talk at a scientific meeting, not a published article, and it met with some serious objections at the time (see this article). It was never published, and I cannot find any mention of the subject since, so it is of questionable encyclopedic value; I have devoted a single sentence to it in this article. The rest of Diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn is a rambling promotion of Reginald B. Little. So I merged without copying over any of the content. The main authors of Diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn have not edited in years, so they won't mind.RockMagnetist (DCO visiting scholar) (talk) 06:20, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
