    I'd be tempted to say yes, merely to annoy astrologers. No more easy money!

    But in reality no. It's part of the Kuiper Belt objects.

    Hmm, I smell some evil plot to throw over my worldview.
    Of course it's a planet, you all just like to jump on the smaller ones.

    it has a moon and an atmosphere,... I'd say yes. And if it doesn't qualifiy just make an exception. It has been called a planet so long...

    Plenty of asteroids have moons. I say Pluto's out of the club! Kick it to the curb. Beside, I bet we're going to find even larger planetoids within five years ...
