KEEP--Mr. Soderberg's claim to notability is not simply based on having been the first Puerto Rican regional director of EPA but on a 45-year career that spans 8 of Puerto Rico's 10 elected governors in which he became Puerto Rico's most consistent and effective steward of the environment as well as a hemispheric figure warning about global warming and climate change. He is also on of Puerto Rico's top living German-ancestry public figures, perhaps second only to former Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz.Pr4ever (talk) 03:15, 14 June 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete He has won awards but I don't believe the awards have been "well-known" or "significant". He does not appear to have made contributions of great historical importance in his field. He has not been the subject of significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources. He seems like he did a good job, but that's unfortunately not criteria for notability. 217IP (talk) 01:48, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
