Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John McCain IV
Notability is , so he does not get a Wikipedia article just for being related to John McCain, but nothing here is an independent notability claim in its own right and the sourcing isn't really evincing a solid  pass as it represents a mix of sources that glancingly namecheck his existence without being ''about'' him, and sources which include him giving soundbite to the media about his dad while continuing to not really have ''him'' as their ''subject''. I'm also absolutely sure we've done this before at a slightly variant title, because I distinctly remember a past AFD discussion about a relative of John McCain where the keep proponents argued that he was notable because a graduating ceremony at the US Naval Academy had put him in the company of Barack Obama just months after Obama had defeated McCain in the 2008 election — and the very first source here has the headline "Obama hugs Navy grad John McCain IV", suggesting that this is the ''same'' person as what I'm remembering even though there's no deleted history at this particular title
