There are two problems with this article. First, there are some notability concerns as I am unable to find many RS for this, although there maybe some Spanish language sources that I haven't looked into. The bigger problem though is that I feel that this just a trivia article (see
WP:TRIVIA). I have not heard of this concept before, and while I think its neat, Wikipedia is not
