Basis for notability appears somewhat dubious. While Mr. Feldman's name is mentioned in numerous places, the objectivity of those sources seems questionable. At the very minimum, this article needs some solid references and citations for statements/claims made in the article as most claims are not currently
verifiable.
@
BankingBum: I added various details from obituaries of Feldman, and one Washington Post article 15 or so years before his death.
[1] Notability is well established, in my opinion, by obits in the New York Times and Los Angeles Times. However, the article does still need work; it contains some unsourced facts. One thing to be cautious of here is comparing Feldman's sales of insurance policies with sales figures for other kinds of products. What I mean is this: suppose someone is a car salesman with lifetime sales of, say, $40-million. That would mean that purchasers actually paid, in total, $40-million for cars he sold. But in the case of life insurance, we are saying Feldman had lifetime sales of $1.5-billion in policies, but that figure refers to the face value, not the premiums paid by purchasers, which would be considerably less. In the article we need to ensure that this point is made clear.
