This neologism does not have any reliable sources. While the first AfD for this article was in regards to its notability, I am concerned about verifiability issues. From Wikipedia:Avoid_neologisms#Reliable_sources_for_neologisms, "To support the use of (or an article about) a particular term we must cite reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term — not books and papers that use the term."
