Editors have been engaging in low-key edit warring (nothing sanctionable) over whether this article should redirect to RMIT University#Sports or not, so it's best that we resolve this at AfD.

My own opinion is that this does not meet WP:GNG or the relevant WikiProject football essay WP:FOOTYN, and that thus we should redirect. I'd also like to rebut the argument made for keeping the article in edit summaries, which was Multiple other semi-professional football clubs in Victoria have pages that meet requirements, RMIT FC is no different––to begin with this is a rather weak WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument, but if we look at the top league that this team plays in, Victorian State League Division 5, not even 1/6 of the teams listed there have articles (and none of the other teams in the North conference have articles) _signed,Rosguill ^talk 22:53, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - meets neither WP:GNG or WP:FOOTYN.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 02:58, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:GNG. Regardless of what WP:FOOTYN says, Australian clubs that haven't played in a national league or the top tier of a state league don't get much independent coverage. Hack (talk) 03:47, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - RMIT pass WP:FOOTYN due to their multiple FFA Cup appearances however WP:GNG is failed. All I could find was passing mentions in articles on other clubs. Dougal18 (talk) 08:20, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to RMIT University. [[[[[User:GiantSnowman|Giant]]Snowman 08:28, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nom comment when I opened this discussion I was under the impression that there was some merit to redirecting to RMIT University. However, there's no mention of the team at that article, and from reading the article we are discussing, as written it's not clear how involved the university is in supporting the team. So I'm not opposed to delete, although redirecting to Victorian State League Division 5 may be another option. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:04, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
