I think all of you are misunderstanding this "adding new planet" idea. Scientists have been considering adding planets to our solar system. Just as someone else pointed out earlier, planets are planets. We can only discover them, and we've discovered a lot of other planets outside our solar system. The point is that a planet doesn't necessarily have to orbit our sun to exist, but it must do so in order to be considered part of our solar system.
