I can't find any evidence of notability. (Doesn't directly impact on notability but the content is largely spam and possibly autogenerated. https://singersroom.com/write-for-us-guest-posts-on-singers-room/ indicates that people pay to post articles to it for digital marketing purposes).

• Delete The issue here has to be whether there is substantial, reliable, secondary coverage of the website/magazine itself to establish notability. The current references aren't at all helpful in that regard. The Stacks reference is simply a press release from Singersroom itself announcing an online poll. Interestingly, buried in that press release is the statement that Singersroom is rated “one of the Internet’s top music sources” by XXL magazine. That might be notable - XXL (magazine) appears to be a reliable source, but I cannot find any link or article that would confirm that as a fact. Being voted "Best Soul Site" by Soul Train viewers in an online poll a single time would not appear to be notable. The best source I have found is a profile of the founders from 2011 in Black Enterprise[1] but I can't find anything else at all that would qualify as substantial, independent coverage. I see lots of citations to its articles/listicles/surveys, sometimes even in reliable secondary sources e.g. [2] , but nothing else of substance about the site itself.
