If the core of a celestial body isn't undergoing nuclear fusion, and it's orbiting something that is, it's a planet. Yes that includes Pluto. And Ceres, and Makemake, and many other Kuiper belt objects and so-called "asteroids" yet to be characterized. There are millions of bodies in orbit around our home star and we do them and ourselves a great disservice by only recognizing eight.
