Deletion of Joe McCain

Comment: I originally speedily deleted the article because it was unreferenced and had  issues due to unreferenced statements about Joe McCain's personal life in the first posted version. But the principle that relatives of politicians are not inherently notable certainly does not mean that they are inherently NON-notable. Also, I believe that the precedent of what has been kept and what has been deleted in AFD actually does provide guidance for future AFDs: We have kept several articles about relatives of world leaders or political candidates who are notable only as a result of their famous relative, but who have substantial coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources, thus satisfying . There is no requirement that this coverage be completely unrelated to the career of their politician relative. For Joe McCain, there are numerous article in newspapers over at least the past 37 years, long before McCain was a political candidate. There is coverage of Joe McCain sitting in a bamboo cage in Los Angeles, eating simulated POW food to dramatize the plight of POWs, as printed in The Independent (Long Beach, CA) Nov. 27, 1970. There is  "In behalf of POWs, will ask 'doves' to sign petition" (Associated Press, December 31, 1970) as printed in Florence (SC) Morning News, Dec. 31, 1970, page 1 (via NewspaperArchive.com (subscription). This is a feature story about Joe McCain and two other brothers of POWs travelling around the US circulating petitions to be presented to North Vietnamese representatives.   There is a 86 word passage about him in "http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D03E3D91E30F936A15751C0A9669C8B63 Powerful Virginia Machine Digs In to Tackle McCain," By Francis X. Clines, The New York Times, February 25, 2000.
