Strong keep. This is Nancy Drew, the extremely well-known juvenile book series for girls! The articles on the books in this series and the The Hardy Boys series were added years ago Wikipedia when references were not considered needed. Most of the Hardy Boys books have an online PDF for their reference. These are both well-known series and there are reference works written about both series.

It doesn't matter when it was created. If it doesn't meet our current notabilty poicy, WP:NBOOK - and @StarryGrandma: you haven't argued that or how it does - then it doesn't have a place here. Amisom (talk) 06:54, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Amisom, I said, "These are both well-known series and there are reference works written about both series." That is known as arguing that it meets the notability requirement. See WP:EXIST: Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. StarryGrandma (talk) 22:31, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@StarryGrandma: But I'm not disputing that "there are reference works written about the series". I know that. THat's why our article on the series, Nancy Drew, meets the notability policy. This book, though, has to meet WP:NBOOK, and unless there are reference works written about the book then it doesn't. Are there referenceworks written about the book?

Strong keep very notable series per above unsigned support, Sadads (talk) 01:53, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Sadads: the sreies is indeed notable and that's why I haven't nominated our article Nancy Drewfor deletion. This book itself is not notable under WP:NBOOK so it needs to be deleted. Amisom (talk) 06:54, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because it is abundantly obvious that every single Nancy Drew book will pass NBOOK 4: as they've been assigned for instruction at at least 2 schools (and probably multiple school districts). Yes, my !vote is conjecture and blatant OR, but IAR: common sense has to apply here. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:54, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
