There is no "official" criteria, as it is one of the many things that nobody cared for writing down before...

Basically, characters that are both unseen and unnamed should not get an article, unless they are VERY VERY important for understaning another character, and the ones that come to my mind that fulfill that criteria are Peter Quill's dad, Ward's parents and Raina's Grandmother, nobody else

The basic criteria for having a character article is having a relevant event of the biography for the character, this requirement could be considered mandatory (Remember that Benjamin Franklin's example). And explaining the circunstances where he was mentioned is not an event in somebody's life.


 * Patrick has some information, we know he was a soldier in the Navy, even his Rank, he fought in WWII, and he died in Guadalcanal.

Also, there is a criteria for NOT creating the article, which is called "common sense"... If the description of an article is "Peggy Carter's Son is the son of Peggy Carter", and his biography is "At some point in her life, Peggy Carter had a son. There was a photograph portraying him in Carter's bedroom", there is no need for a full article explaining that...

Think about Bobbi Morse and Andrew Garner. We did not have articles for "Lance Hunter's Ex-Wife" or "Melinda May's Ex-Husband" before they were revealed to be actual characters...
