Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Gerald Troy! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 621 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Vicente B. Amante - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Frederick Martin A. Ilagan - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
