The funny thing is that in all scholarly work, it is still referred to as a planet. Most astronomers still refer to it as a planet. That's because it is a planet. Mike Brown, the chief architect behind behind the "movement" to remove the planet status, even goes by @plutokiller on his Twitter account. It was basically used by one astrophysicist to put a stamp on his career. And what is he doing now? Searching for the "real" planet 9 he says. A vanity project. There is actually some good work being done by a group of astronomers who are trying to re-prove that Pluto is a planet. Either way. It's the oddball. It's even more complex than many of the "real planets".
