Planet Nine to be confirmed before the end of the year

Planet Nine is a hypothetical large planet in the far outer Solar System whose presence would explain the unusual orbital configuration of a group of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) that orbit mostly beyond the Kuiper belt. On 20 January 2016, researchers Konstantin Batygin and Michael E. Brown at Caltech announced calculation-based evidence of a massive ninth planet in the Solar System. Will this planet confirmed before the end of 2016?

YES=Planet Nine is confirmed by solid evidences; discovery is verified and accepted by the scientific community. It must be this celestial body, not just another planet orbiting the solar system.
