Park

A park in Tacoma, Washington may be named after Herbert: http://www.thenewstribune.com/2013/06/19/2645714/frank-herbert-makes-sense-for.html --Gwern (contribs) 16:27 24 June 2013 (GMT)

Conversion to Zen

Extremely dubious imho simply because searching for "Frank Herbert" "zen" on the internet produces no reliable sources or any details. Merely repetitions of the "fact" that he converted to Zen Buddhism which are very likely merely reflections of the false idea that originated with whoever added this "fact" to this wikipedia article. Prove me wrong. 31.54.34.97 (talk) 17:08, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship with Bruce & Views on Homosexuality

Has there been any discussion about adding information concerning Herbert’s poor relationship with his gay son, Bruce, his personal views on homosexuality, and how it may have influenced his depiction of Baron Harkonnen (potentially - I think this last bit may be better suited for only the Dune page, or at most as a brief parenthetical here)? I ask because I don’t want to make changes if there’s been previous discussion I should be aware of, and I’d love to hear thoughts on how and where it’d be best to add this information. Thanks!

Hi, please see my comments at Talk:Dune_(novel)#Baron_Harkonnen’s_Homosexuality. You'll need reliable sources that specifically make that connection. I'd be happy to help you develop any content on this subject for inclusion here or in Dune-related articles like Vladimir Harkonnen.— TAnthony^Talk 19:16, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Convert to Buddhism?

Is this actually true? It sounds like he was interested in Buddhism but not a convert.[1] I'm removing the categories, if I'm wrong please tell me. Prezbo (talk) 16:15, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article photo

Could we get a better photo of Herbert? By "better" I mean one that captures his whole face and is less grainy. https://www.historylink.org/File/21248 J E F-T (talk) 18:40, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
