Is Pluto's planetary membership actually restored?

I saw that there was a debate (I believe at Harvard) on the matter that declared Pluto a planet, but does that actually hold any weight?  I have to admit, having to remove Pluto from my paper mâché solar system 8 years ago stung just a bit.

No.

Harvard hosted a public seminar and debate then had a public vote.  That is a meaningless process in science.

Pluto is a plutoid, and not a planet because if you make pluto a planet that means there are probably hundreds of planets in the solar system, and that's just an unwieldy mess.  We don't name every asteroid, we do name every planet, and we aren't going to name every plutoid because it's more on the asteroid side of things in terms of trying to name them all.  Furthermore there are compelling reasons to study and talk about individual planets, but there aren't really when it comes to plutoids, again they are more like asteroids in that respect.
