It wasn't "rejected", it was re-classified. Since Pluto's discovery in the 1930's, there have been many more discoveries of planet-like bodies in the trans-Neptunian region of the solar system. The one thing they all have in common is that they aren't very big. A new classification was identified: "Dwarf Planets". Pluto was reclassified to one of these, and there are a number of other ones.
