I'm not certain that this is a notable endeavor independent from The 1619 Project, which it criticizes. Such sources as can be found only discuss this as a reaction to the 1619 Project, and I'm not seeing coverage of this project's writings on their own merits. Moreover, many sources about this topic are of the op-ed type. Those cited in the article are mostly from the Washington Examiner, which participates in this project and is therefore not an independent source, or from more questionable Internet outlets. This topic would better be covered more concisely at The 1619 Project#Critical response. Sandstein 17:07, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and merge with The 1619 Project per nom. --Cornellier (talk) 00:32, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Inclined to keep -- The project appears to have produced a collection of essays. Both 1619 and 1776 appear to be efforts to reassess the impact of slavery on modern America. In the light of recent demonstrations in reaction to the death of George Floyd this appears to be a hot topic. I am thus inclined to keep this for the moment. There may be a case for reviewing this in (say) a year. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:27, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- While clearly in reaction to the 1619 project, it seems substantial enough to have its own page. With a quick google search I see discussions of it in the Wall Street Journal [1], NY Daily News [2] and Medium [3] -Pengortm (talk) 05:15, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- for the moment. It deserves its own page.--Barbanegre (talk) 12:05, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- As per the points above and lack of clear reason for deletion. James xeno (talk) 16:25, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
