Candidate for an article?

"Solution looking for a problem" itself seems to be sufficiently commonly used / referenced / mentioned across media and industries that it may be worth stubbing a Wikipedia article for it.

Suggesting here since the author of this essay may wish to consider creating such a stub, which I would support (and contribute to).
