I have the understanding that the "Alternate" section is used for alternate versions of the characters, or their equivalents. By equivalent I mean characters that occupy the same position as another character in a different universe, and have some differences like the name or gender, but are not their own character.

For example, one of War Machine's alternate versions is Rupert Rhodes. While he doesn't have the exact same name as James Rhodes, it's clear he's an equivalent of Rhodey in Earth-311.

A same example would apply to Wasp's alternate. One of them is named Janette Le Pym instead of Janet van Dyne. But it's more than clear that character is in fact the equivalent of Janet van Dyne.

There are numerous examples in Spider-Man's disambig of equivalents. Penelope Parker is clearly a genderbend version of Peter Parker, not her own character, who lives with her Uncle Ben and Aunt May and was bitten by a radioactive spider during a school trip. Peter Parquagh and Paviitr Prabhakar are other two examples.

Ezekiel Sims (Earth-4) is not the equivalent of Peter Parker on Earth-4. Earth-4 had its own Peter Parker, who died, and has no image because he was only mentioned by Ezekiel. That very same information is on both his and Ezekiel's page. And even if there was no Earth-4 Peter Parker, Ezekiel shouldn't be there because he's not an equivalent of Peter Parker, he's his own character, in this case an alternate version of regular Ezekiel Sims.
