To [[good fight]], retaining redirect. One can win, lose, engage in, etc the good fight. DCDuring (talk) 16:55, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- Support. It might be good to include an etymology to clarify whether or not "fight the good fight" came first and the others followed from that (I don't actually know). —Globins 19:41, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose. Of these alternatives, only "win the good fight" has anything close to as much currency as "fight the good fight". Catrìona (talk) 19:05, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose, as I'm pretty sure "fight the good fight" came first (it's from the Bible, AFAIK) and the others are derivations of it. So "good fight" can certainly have a page, and the two can link to each other, but the original phrase should be treated as a lemma. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 23:07, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose, for the same reasons as Andrew Sheedy. Trey314159 (talk) 19:31, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
