ברכות מז,ב

When they sold Yosef, Hashem was included in the Beis Din. Rebbi Akiva, a descendent of gerim, was included in the ten martyrs in place of Him. In SA O’CH 55,4 questions whether a katan can be included with a chumash as a slave was included and one freed. The Rosh says that he was needed for Parshas Zachor leinen which is biblical. In Europe a katan was included with a chumash. The Taz says that one speaking in the middle of davening should not be included in a minyan.
The Chacham Tzvi 93, questiions if a golem can be included. He brings a proof from Maseches Sanhedrin 65
where Rava created a golem and brought in front of Rebbi Zeira who said he has no use for it and destroyed it. It cannot speak and has no soul to become part of a minyan even though someone asleep can be included.
