Like SunGod mentioned, there are many variables to take into account when it comes to what makes the appearance of a team such thing.

For instance, requiring at least two members might seem like asking for too much in certain cases. I'm thinking of the original Defenders (3 members), the Fantastic Four, or the Cap's Kooky Quartet-era Avengers.

It should also be taken into account if the characters from a given team are appearing in a story as members of said team. Spider-Man, Nova and Hulk might appear among a group of other heroes, but that doesn't mean the Champions are appearing.

As for representatives of a team, that should warrant a minor appearance at the most. Iron Man could appear in an issue in lieu of the Avengers, but categorizing that as an appearance of the Avengers themselves feels like a false appearance.

In case we're looking at a potential policy discussion, I'd suggest first creating a new thread for that purpose.
