Like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Treves, California, this is going to be a bundled nomination of railroad features falsely listed as communities of Kern County, California.
Sedwell has no GNIS entry, does not appear on the topos, is only sourced to a vague entry in Durham, and has no meaningful newspapers.com hits, no matter how I arrange the search terms. I did find one Gbook hit at [1] that references a Sedwell spur on the Southern Pacific. Without anything to really explain what this was, WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG are not met.

Cable was clearly a siding, as shown on the topos. See this, which pretty clearly refers to Cable as a siding. Sidings are a type of railroad feature that fail WP:GNG.
Eric was also a siding, see [2]. The claim in the article that it had a population of 14 at the 2012 census was added in 2017 by an IP editor and is almost certainly vandalism. There was no 2012 census, I can find no record of this place in US Census department data, GNIS states that Eric is "historical", and all that's at the GNIS coordinates now is a highway overpass and some windmills. So yeah, it's incredibly unlikely this had a population of 14 in 2012, and it's almost certainly a WP:GEOLAND-failing railroad feature.
La Rose is also apparently some sort of railroad feature, although it's more obscure than the others. Topos show an undeveloped point on the railroad that is later replaced by a nondescript gravel pit. Nothing on newspapers.com. All I can find is this and this, which indicates that the site was some sort of railroad feature with neither a post office nor a telegraph office. Fails WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG.

Fram was also a siding, see [3]. And yes, these all appear to be the work of a single editor. Hog Farm Bacon 06:07, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
