risorgimento as a common noun

Googling doesn't reveal any uses except as a proper noun. Also the user Aryamanarora who added the English section didn't answer my request to add citations. Yurivict (talk) 02:32, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

It is listed in the Unabridged Merriam Webster as a common noun, and I don't remember any requests for citation - perhaps I didn't get a notification? Aryamanarora (talk) 02:40, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Maybe Meriam-Webster made a mistake. I don't think somebody can say "England went through the period of risorgimento", but they could use the word "renaissance" in the same context. I can't find such use in any book (when it is used for anything but Italy and not without the capital letter). Yurivict (talk) 03:00, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

It does have two quotations that mention risorgimento out of the context of Italy. Link Aryamanarora (talk) 03:16, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

• RFV failed. I can't view the Merriam-Webster quotes, but even if they are valid and come from a durably archived source, we still don't have enough to keep the entry. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 13:49, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

This is probably now citeable from plurals alone. This, that and the other (talk) 11:53, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
