It was getting to the point where we were going to be either adding planets on a regular basis or we were going to have to redefine a planet and probably lose Pluto in the process
The International Astronomical Union decided on the latter.
The rule was a planet had to orbit the sun and be massive enough to have a reasonably spherical form.
To these wo they added a further rule that to be a planet an object had to have generally cleared its orbit of other bodies.
This effectively declassified trans-Neptune objects as planets

Thanks for your speedy replies, folks but I really do not like people stealing planets from our solar system. I may have to call the Planetary Police if you do this much more. Dwarf planets have feelings too, you know.

This is a good way to recall your old 9 planets.

It was actually Eris that set the cat amoungst the pigeons because it is larger than Pluto
It was that that lead to Pluto's downgrade otherwise all these would probably have a good case to be planets too
