I was wondering how to write these forms.
For example:

I want you to come
I want her to come
I want them to come

She wants me to come
She wants him to come
She wants them to come

They want me to come
They want her to come
They want them to come

Senden gelmeni istiyorum
Onun gelmesini istiyorum
Onların gelmesini istiyorum

O benden gelmemi istiyor
O, onun gelmesini istiyor
O, onların gelmesini istiyor

Onlar, benim gelmemi istiyor
Onlar, onun gelmesini istiyor
Onlar, onların gelmesini istiyor...

It is not complicated!
when you have a phrase and the two verbs have the same subject, ONLY the verb in the main clause(istemek) conjugates

Gelmek istiyorum. I want to come (the same subject- I want, I come)
Onlar dondurma yemek istiyorlar. They want to eat icecream. (the same subject- they want, they eat)

when you have a phrase and the two verbs have different subjects (like in your examples), the verb in the subordinate clause acts like a noun and therefore it receives 1)personal possesive suffixes and 2)the accusative case, required by the verb istemek

You have mistakes for "them":

I want them to come
gelmelerini istiyorum

She wants them to come
gelmelerini istiyor

They want them to come
gelmelerini istiyorlar
