~ Both Sides ~

For The Claim

Some planetary scientists use or advocate geophysical definitions under which Pluto qualifies as a planet.
Pluto is round and orbits the Sun, satisfying two of the IAU's three planet criteria.

Against The Claim

The IAU's 2006 resolution explicitly classifies Pluto as a dwarf planet.
The IAU says its Solar System planet definition has not changed since 2006.
NASA currently lists Pluto among five officially recognized dwarf planets.

Bottom Line

The claim is not supported as an official-status statement. Pluto remains a dwarf planet under the IAU's current definition, although some scientists continue to argue for an alternative classification.

~ What We Couldn't Find ~

Some planetary scientists advocate alternative definitions that would include Pluto, but no official change to the IAU classification has occurred.
