Maybe instead of trying to come up with a screentime rule, we can try something else:

These two points will always be a requirement:
 * Must be involved in the storyline. If the character did not interact with anyone or say anything (including events in the past, future or alternate dimension), they do not deserve their own page.
 * Has been referred to by name. Characters who were featured, but not given names belong in the Unnamed Characters section.

A character must also fulfill at least one of these requirements:
 * Character is presented as a major villain for a story arc.
 * Character has appeared within the story multiple times. This obviously does not include characters who are presented in a single fight and either killed off or never seen again.
 * Character has a significant amount of information from other sources outside the anime/manga. (I.E., Khan has an extensive guide for his character in Heritage for the Future on his page.)
 * Character has or has had a visually close relationship with one of the main cast. This includes family members and friends seen in flashbacks.
