Wrong !
Pluto is a Dwarf planet, thats still a planet in the dictionary

The IAU was quite clear on this point.

Pluto can no longer be classed as a planet. And in the words of the
IAU host it is now only called a "dwarf planet" in order to keep the
public happy.

Seems like the members of the IAU consider the smaller big round
objects along with the other solar system trash.

So in the words of the IAU a dwarf planet is not a planet. =8-

You can begin to see that this concept will not carry well. There is
likely to be endless public confusion until every non-expert considers
a dwarf planet to be a planet.

That would make this IAU definition kind of irrelevant...
