It is a big dirty snow ball. It should not be considered a terrestrial body i.e. "planet".

It is about 1/6th the diameter of the earth.

That isn't exactly "small".

I think a planet would be a celstial body that orbits a star and has it's own rotation as well as a regular revolution. no indication if this body rotates around an axis.

Crash it into Mars. That would increase the mass of mars allowing Mars to retain more atmosphere. It would also provide more water.

Even Pluto is marginal. But these Kuiper objects will be very valuable some day whether we call them planets or planetoids or planetless moons. Sure is cold out there. Dark, too.
