The result was redirect to Great Eastern Main Line. If somebody wants to create another dab page for Geml, be []WP:BOLD]] and have at it.
Thanks, User:PamD, for pre-creating the hatnote; that makes my job easier. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:29, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Surplus disambiguation page. There's only two links (thus making this a WP:2DABS fail). This can easily be sorted by hatnotes on both pages. GR (Contact me) (See my edits) 23:25, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- Delete and redirect the title to Great Eastern Main Line, the only topic having the identical abbreviation in the title itself (and averaging around three times as many page views), with a hatnote to the other. bd2412 T 04:21, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
- Revert to redirect to Great Eastern Main Line - as it was until converted to dab in the single edit of a now-blocked sockpuppet. I've added the necessary "redirect" hatnote, commented out for now. PamD 08:28, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. No longer 2Dabs, and I'm not convinced that the rail line is the primary topic. As someone not from the UK or Spain, doing a Google search for "GEML" does result in a plurality of results for the rail line, but there are nearly just as many for other topics, some of which are covered by Wikipedia. Also, most of the sources in Google Books (and presumably Google Scholar as well) do not refer to the rail line at all, but instead refer to various scientific abbreviations/acronyms, almost always in all-caps. [1] If this is redirected back to the railine, the DAB page should be kept somewhere.---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 05:41, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
- If we are going to include "Geml" spellings, we would really need to move the page to Geml; at that point, the question would still remain of where to point the remaining redirect. bd2412 T 21:45, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
- Revert to redirect to Great Eastern Main Line, create Geml as the dab page. Mjroots (talk) 19:54, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
- Keep now a valid disambiguation page. If Great Eastern Main Line is the primary topic, make a request for this page to be moved. Peter James (talk) 21:33, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
- Revert to redirect to Great Eastern Main Line. Dabs shouldn't have redlinks, and the modelling language can be made a redirect to the framework. General Enterprise Modelling Language isn't even notable. L3X1 (distænt write) 01:04, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
