Talk:Cleaner (crime)

keep, seems notable if it can be sourced Chris 03:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

several templates
It is not that I do not believe, I know Léon was a Cleaner... but there needs to be a Reference for this meaning of the term. The given Reference makes no mention of it, so it isnt backed up by a Reliable Source.

Pure fiction? Hardly...
The article presently presents this occupation/activity as if no such thing exists in real life. I think it would be more realistic to state that this activity has been depicted in several works of crime fiction. __meco (talk) 08:53, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Origins of the term "Cleaner"
So does the word "Cleaner" designating someone who cleans up evidence (& witnesses) at a crime scene predate the French movie Nikita? Or did that movie introduce the idea to crime fiction? That was the first time I remember hearing the term, although the idea of government Black Ops groups having people detailed to cover-up extrajudicial activities did predate the movie.) -- llywrch (talk) 06:33, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Merged
I have redirected this title to Fixer (person) which is a more general description of the term. I was not able to merge much or any of the contents of this article, because none of it was sourced, but I was able to find and use some sources of my own. -- MelanieN (talk) 18:07, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
