There should be links to writings of these 'commentators' who regard the 1421 theory as 'baseless in fact', so that readers can judge for themselves the authority of the commentators and read the refutations of Menzies' theory that would demonstrate any baselessness.

1 Debunking sites
2 More evidence needed
3 Trivia
4 Place of Birth

[edit] More evidence needed

those 2 sites dont convince me. the first one seems to be biased against another country being involved in discovering the new world besides protugal and i dont know about the other one

the comment that most people think its "baseless" seems like POV to me
