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 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]
