Not really, no... it's a comet or at best a rogue kuiper belt object. It's smaller than earth's moon, its orbit is wildly elliptical, and it hasnt cleared out its orbital path. Many reasons not to consider it a planet, and so it was dropped.

If Pluto was to be called a planet, then Ceres would also need to be called one, and everyone seems happy with calling that an asteroid.
