One thing that I couldn't find in the rules is how best to cover cases where someone is listed in credits but actually isn't. My feeling is to leave them out/remove them but note confirmed cases in the Contribution Notes.

For example, in one of the bonus features for Basket Case that I recall watching a couple decades ago the director admitted to padding the credits. Also, for Terror Firmer, there's a section called Other Festival Heads We Would Have Liked to Have in the Movie But Were Unable To. In addition, unfortunately, Barbra Streisand, who's not in the movie, is credited as Bitch. More amusingly but still fake, Hollywood Reporter is listed as played by Better Than Variety.

Do people concur that the best way to handle such cases (where you're certain they're not in the move/are just made up names) is as a reverse of the Uncredited Cast rule, i.e,, leaving them out but explaining why in the Contribution Notes?

Do not list actors and crew who appear only in special features, or whose scenes were deleted from the main feature, even if they appear in special features.

It seems to me that fake credits are comparable to credits for deleted scenes, and therefore should be left out.

I agree with this.
