IAU definition of "planet"[edit]

The IAU definitions of "planet" and "dwarf planet" have too much weight in this article. For example, throughout the article, "the 8 planets" are referenced (which is part of the IAU definition). More weight should be given to the geophysical definition of "planet"; under this definition, large moons (such as Titan) are considered planets ("satellite planets"), and dwarf planets are considered planets (because they have enough gravity to be spherical).

The geological definition of planet is an idea of Alan Stern, and has the backing of no official organizations. If the IUGS approves the definition, then absolutely it will be put in here, but not until then. Serendipodous 07:31, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

2014 UZ224?[edit]

what would warrant inclusion of 2014 UZ224 in this article? Or is it just that no one has gotten around to it? Wingspan Shadow (talk) 15:22, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

What's notable about it to warrant inclusion here? It's just a mid-sized SDO. It's not here for the same reasons, e.g., Salacia and Varda are absent. Tbayboy (talk) 02:54, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
