It may be helpful if you look at the original category in The Mentalist Wiki (though it would be more helpful if some of you has seen that series :P).

The category of Minor Characters is used for those typical extras who appear in the background without much interaction or importance. If they have time on screen (talking or doing something apart from being in the background), it's mostly short; and if they die, it doesn't have much relevance either except "oh, this person died!" and life continues as always.

Goggles fits perfectly in that concept, but I disagree about the Ackermans because, dispite having little time on screen, they are Mikasa's parents and their deaths directly marked a before and after in her life and the whole series.

Someone could still disagree about that and there is no problem, there will always be people who argue otherwise (and I know someone who is always arguing for everything); but as I said, this can be further specified on the fly depending of the cases that arise or deleted completely if that's the case too.
