I say if it could exert enough force to influence the orbit of Neptune, it is a planet. The search for the object (Planet X) was over when an amateur astronomer was hired by the Lowell Observatory to do the grunt work of staring at a blink comparator on hundreds if not thousands of photographic plates. It was an anomaly in the orbit of Neptune that resulted in the hunt for Pluto.
