Why? Do you hate the existence of experts so much that you refuse to consider the opinion of an international body composed of pretty much all PhD-level astronomers and above on the planet (ie the IAU, not NASA, FYI) to be definitive?

It must be an object which independently orbits the Sun - Check
It must have enough mass so that gravity pulls it into a roughly speroidal shape - Check
It must be large enough to "dominate" its orbit (ie. its mass must be much larger than anything else which crosses its orbit - Nope!
Pluto does not meet the third requirement, its in an area at the edge of the solar system called the Kepler Belt. Home to many objects like Pluto, sometimes smaller, sometimes bigger. Pluto does not dominate its orbit. It shares its orbit. So, its a dwarf planet.

It's the Kuiper Belt, not the Kepler Belt.
