As the subject of the article is an unincorporated community with a population of just 26 with no notable details listed about it beyond it being named after William H. Seward, it does not appear to be sufficiently notable to have an article of its own. CoolieCoolster (talk) 12:32, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If there are 26 people living there, it passes WP:GEOLAND. SportingFlyer T·C 22:26, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
merge content to Logan County, Oklahoma as census tracts and unincorporated places are not legally recognized and need to meet GNG.James.folsom (talk) 23:05, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's a small community, but it's recognized as one by the U.S. Census Bureau, which means it passes WP:GEOLAND. It also wasn't too hard to find significant coverage of it in regional newspapers: [1] [2]. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation}
keep We have consistently kept towns represented by CDPs. Mangoe (talk) 02:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

keep Seward is a community officially recognized by the U.S. Census and a well-recognized geographic location among central Oklahomans. There are also numerous locations with smaller populations that are still considered notable, so that is not a valid criterion for deletion. 162.129.251.104 (talk) 16:05, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment CDP are not designated by the Census Bureau, but by local authorities. So they are technically not officially recognized by that organization, the locals define them and the census gives the the statistics for them. James.folsom (talk) 23:59, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To become a CDP, a populated settlement has to satisfy criteria that is enough to justify notability. Contributor892z (talk) 13:37, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Seward is listed here (look at page 866) so it satisfies WP:GEOLAND. Contributor892z (talk) 13:30, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
