Nomenclature is not science.

All scientific papers I have seen have nomenclature.

1. Why doesn't the scientific establishment have a definition for exo-planet yet?
"The official definition of "planet" used by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) only covers the Solar System and thus does not apply to exoplanets"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoplanet#Definition
......
An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System. Around 1800 such planets have been discovered[5][6][7] (1783 planets in 1105 planetary systems including 460 multiple planetary systems as of 18 April 2014).[8]

So what? you skipped over the actual definition provided by wiki:An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System. Around 1800 such planets have been discovered[5][6][7] (1783 planets in 1105 planetary systems including 460 multiple planetary systems as of 18 April 2014).[8]
Many things in science, particularly relatively new things have no official definition and in fact as far as science is concerned there is no such thing as an official definition as everything is potentially up for revision.
I get the feeling that you really just want to argue about shit instead of discuss it or debunk it or whatever. This silly-ass paper you linked to deserves no respect whatsoever nor does idiocy like attacking science for not having an official definition of exoplanet. Please, just lighten up, let science work.
On the other hand maybe you are here to push pseudoscience which even a step above the linked paper.
