No, because no one has invented it yet. An example of what I mean by a "pipeline nugget" is "The necktie was invented in Croatia". This quote is mentioned in various language Wikipedias and is 1) a publicity stunt, 2) an example of intangible national heritage, 3) a poorly sourced statement in a list. Maybe with an example like this you can grasp the concept a bit better.
