Don't think stand-ins qualify for a cast credit. I would vote no.

This is what I don't understand about DVDP. We allow puppeteers in the cast list. We allow Voice Loop Groups in the cast list, even when listed well apart from the cast. We allow pilots and stunt people too.
But here we have a cast list that is unbroken and lists stunt people and stand ins together with the cast without interruption and we say no.
Plus the fact that there are tons of sites that confirm that they appeared in the film to stand in for their brother.

Where in the rules does it forbid pilots, stunt people or even stand ins?

Now the definition of actor comes into play and some would say that a stand in is not an actor. Well according to the definition they are.
From Merriam Webster:
1
:  one that acts :  doer
2
a :  one who represents a character in a dramatic production
b :  a theatrical performer
c :  one who behaves as if acting a part

So in this case we have a well documented fact that they represented Brian O'Connor, so they definitely fit the definition of an actor. Even if we didn't know what character they represented they would still be an actor because they represented a character.

So my vote is yes, include them.

We allow puppeteers when they are the cast list, and we allow voice actor of course, Voice Loop Groups are crew and I don't see them listed in cast credit, we shouldn't allow Voice Loop Groups.

I don't think that stand ins and body doubles are comparable to stuntmen and loop group. The first don't do anything remotely creative, they are just in the scene because the real actor isn't needed (or, as in this case, available). Stuntmen and loop group really do give a performance and therefore much more important for the film.

Is that a general statement about all stand ins or just this movie?

If it's about this movie then there are plenty of behind the scenes footage, news sites and other stuff that confirm that Paul's brothers did far more than just stand there. Through out the film there are scenes where they had to walk around, run around and other "acting" and then have visual effects replace their heads with Pauls. There was a fairly good break down on the IMDB forums.

Personally, I have no interest in tracking stand-ins - neither here nor in general. The fact that Paul Walker's brothers acted as stand-ins is a nice bit of trivia, but that's all. A nice bit of trivia, not a cast credit.

If they are listed within the cast section how are they not cast?

It shouldn't matter what we think, it should matter where the credit lies. If it's good enough for the studio to list them as cast why should we remove them?

That's a question for when that's actually the case. Here, to me, the cast list has ends when it gets to the stunt coordinators. As always, though, I realise that there's no consensus about that sort of thing. Hence the use of "to me" in the previous sentence and "Personally" in my previous post. I'm just stating how I feel, but I'm well aware that there are other opinions as well, and without input from Invelos (and likely even then, as we've seen) those differing opinions will never get any closer together. Unfortunate, but that's how it is.

Which is why this really needs to be added into the rules as to what is a cast and where it ends.

In my opinion, and in this case, since there is no break between any of these names they are all cast. That also includes those listed under Stunts.

In this case all those listed under the Stunts heading is listed in the cast section. After the Stunts listing then there is a clear separation which indicates the end of the cast.
