Creatures that enter the battlefield as anything not being counted as creatures
Spark Double and Clever Impersonator and other cards are creatures who can enter the battlefield as a creature or planeswalker. Shouldn't they still count as creatures for effects that care about creatures entering regardless of whether they copy a planeswalker or a creature? Authority of the consuls is not triggering when they enter.

No. The copy ability is a replacement effect. If you choose to copy a non-creature, the Clone will enter as a non-creature. Since ETB triggers are checked after the fact, no creature entered the battlefield, so there is no reason to trigger.
