Dwarf planet is acceptable just like dwarf stars are.

Asteroid doesn't make much sense, planetoid is just adding extra steps.

We have a lot of similar celestial bodies near us as well that could be considered a part of our solar system, but remain either unconfirmed or otherwise debated.

What is weird to debate is Pluto's status as a planet or dwarf planet, as it is fairly large, and in fairly stable orbit, and stays within the solar system. Adding extra criteria to what makes a planet is weird.

Ceres, Eris and to some extent Makemake are all really interesting and absolutely should be included on solar charts along with Pluto.
