Should it be a Useful Note instead? Or should we do something else with it?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Would this be a more of an Analysis page for Dune, IIRC that's where this comes from.

You didn't actually read the page, did you? The name is from Dune, but the trope(?) isn't.

Probably would be better as a Useful Note, yes. I think the article is on-target and worth having, and I don't want the lack of attention or examples to deprive the wiki of it.

I'm feeling it as a useful note.

That's three. Launching this as a Useful Note.

Is this text (copied from Reactionary Fantasy#Live-Action TV and edited to be standalone) an example?

The novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (credited to Gene Roddenberry but ghostwritten by Allan Dean Foster) takes time in the preface to state that Kirk and the rest of Starfleet are "Old Humans" as compared to the "New Humans" who are a significant part of Earth's population and are more peaceful and enlightened. This preface inverts the impression of the episode "The Way to Eden". It is not that those people are "weirdo hippies," it is that Kirk and company are "weirdo throwbacks". "Old humans" make better space explorers. The "weirdo hippies" need the "weirdo throwbacks" to be the "rough men prepared to do violence" on their behalf.
