Keep Delete "Civic courage" seems to be a translation of a Russian expression. There is no evidence that it exists in English with the same meaning. Two of the three linked articles do not use the expression, unless I overlooked it somewhere. Seems to be a neologism. The concept should be covered in courage.

Courage includes in its definition: "moral courage is the ability to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, discouragement, or personal loss." What is described as civic courage seems to be much the same. Borock (talk) 19:55, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked out the Google Books link above, and the expression is used a lot in English. A much better article could be written with these sources. The concept, called "civic courage" in English translations, goes back to the Classical Greeks. A merge to Courage as a section is also possible and might be better for readers since then all people interested in the topic of courage can learn about this important sub-type, not just the ones who are looking for this expression.Borock (talk) 11:56, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - It's mentioned at Courage. There doesn't look to be anything more than that mention here, so a redirect seems pretty straightforward. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 03:53, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Courage without prejudice to a split if and when that becomes necessary. Graham (talk) 00:57, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
