Why does this page read like an alt right conspiracy theory? 153.33.235.26 ( talk) 16:32, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
How is this even an official Wikipedia page? “Project 2025” doesn’t exist. There is no factual evidence proving anything said in this summary, and this Wikipedia page is the only online source besides the actual website that spouts this nonsense. 2600:1700:FFD0:57A0:6022:B893:1438:E1E3 ( talk) 01:58, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
I honestly think it's a conspiracy and I've never seen this, even when Trump left the presidency from,we haven't seen this in 2022 Kilrk0 ( talk) 02:36, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
refers to the project, not the project document
I did not "add the opinion of a former offical describing this as such," I added the current Project director Paul Dans describing it as such quite emphatically. and it was already further down in the lead anyway.

soibangla ( talk) 22:53, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Ensuring that the deep state cannot disrupt the work that the American people elected a president to do is precisely one of the top aims of Project 2025. [1]
As far as I know, the only source for this is WaPo. An editor previously raised the challenge [2] that this was not enough for the lead section, considering no such plans were included in the released project.
Considering this is a WP:CONTENTIOUS topic, I've changed the text to include attribution of the source, and date, as per WP:ATT. What do you make of this?
I believe there's an overarching problem with this article: the overview section includes numerous sections referenced with sources reporting on the behind-the-scenes machinations of Project 2025, but in some nearly no content referencing the actual text of the proposal is present. I think it would be wise to add content based on it as well.
For example, regarding the immigration policy sections, a cursory glance of the Project itself finds nearly no mentions of deportation, and none that would substantiate the other sources, but this is not stated in the article.

This article is just left wing propaganda. The first linked "citation" I clicked was an interview with Trump that was taken totally out of context. In that interview, he stated that Biden's administration has turned the executive branch into a political assassination operation. He used himself as an example, "If I were president I could go after my political enemies." The article's author(s) used that single out-of-context quote as evidence that Trump plans to go after his political enemies, even though it was clear that he was actually indicating how out of control the Biden administration has been. 2601:985:4A81:F060:3064:2D57:176B:878A ( talk) 06:58, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
The intro sentence says, "Project 2025 (officially the Presidential Transition Project) is a collection of policy proposals to reshape the executive branch of the U.S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election." There are two different things: (a) a collection of policy proposals; (b) a list of conservatives around which an effort will occur to get them installed in the federal gov't in a new administration. Is Project 2025 both of those, or is it more the list of people, while Mandate for Leadership is the collection of policy proposals. Novellasyes ( talk) 14:30, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
The article for Agenda 47 has a section that is lifted directly from the primary source without any synth. Very straightforward and matter of fact. I wonder why we can't do that here? Numerous editors here have noted that the claims in the sources used on this article don't appear to be in the material put out by Project 2025 itself. Especially in light of that, a "list of proposals" would be a great move toward NPOV for this article. After that, it would be nice to have a source or two noting that these sources' claims don't appear to be in the Project's own documents. 76.178.169.118 ( talk) 23:08, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
The lead states that The plan proposes slashing U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) funding, dismantling the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, gutting environmental and climate change regulations to favor fossil fuel production, and eliminating the cabinet Departments of Education and Commerce.
This is sourced to a
Guardian article that states: Key components of Project 2025 include slashing funding for the Department of Justice, dismantling the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, and killing the education and commerce departments
The problem is that these statements regarding the FBI and the departments are misleading, inconsistent, or downright inaccurate. We can see this within the Guardian article itself, which simultaneously claims that the project will be dismantling the FBI
yet will try to install trusted loyalists in top posts at the DoJ and the FBI, permitting Trump more leeway to exact revenge on foes.
This inconsistency is repeated within the rest of the Wiki article, which quotes Michael Bromwich stating that the supposedly dismantled FBI will somehow also be weaponized against political rivals, based on the same Guardian article. There is no mention of the FBI (or any of the departments mentioned as getting dismantled/eliminated) getting dismantled in the body, which goes against
MOS:LEAD.
The reason for that may be because, looking at the Mandate for Leadership, there isn't much backing to support a dismantled FBI, nor an eliminated Department of Commerce. There is backing for a dismantled/eliminated Department of Homeland Security and Department of Education. The article should be reworded to only include Homeland and Commerce.
The Mandate states wrt the FBI: Align the FBI’s placement within the department and the federal government with its law enforcement and national security purposes
, not "dismantling" it. In fact, it proposes moving offices to the FBI: Office of Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction be moved to the FBI
.
For an actual dismantling, the Mandate states wrt Homeland: Our primary recommendation is that the President pursue legislation to dismantle the Department of Homeland Security
, where a number of proposals to move offices to other areas are made.
The Mandate states wrt Commerce: The above policies, strategies, and tactics will set a new Administration on firm footing that allows the Department of Commerce to assist the President in implementing a bold agenda that delivers economic prosperity and strong national security to the American people.
Again, we see proposals from Proj 2025 to move offices to the supposedly "eliminated" department: Move ED’s statistical office, the National Commission for Education
Statistics (NCES), to the Department of Commerce’s Census Bureau.
For an actual elimination, the Mandate states wrt Education: the federal Department of Education should be eliminated
, with proposals to move offices to other areas.
