Pluto doesn't meet the definition of a planet per an international regulatory body of scientists, not one guy.

Plus they found like a hundred other sub-planets (or whatever you call them) that are bigger than Pluto. So if Pluto counts, then we need to learn a new really long paragraph to remember the other hundred planet names.

If it wasn't ruled by an intergalactic committee it's bullshite.

Pluto deserves representation in the matter.

I said he was the one who worked to make it happen, not that he made the decision. He was the fellow who originally came up with today's criteria for a planet, campaigned for it, and it was subsequently approved by said body.
