IAU definition of planet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAU_definition_of_planet
Has cleared, not "could" clear or "would" clear but "has" cleared.
A planet that has this kind of orbit would not be old enough to be able to clear its orbit so therefore according to IAU definition should be called a dwarf planet.
Also we must call it a dwarf planets because at this moment we even have no clue that it it even cleared its orbit because we don't know its orbit yet..
