I don't know that :g in vim that exactly, I prefer to use ``.´´ from time to time.

GNU Emacs allows to use three commands:

	repeat
	repeat-complex-command
	repeat-matching-complex-command

See which one can be used! (Deleting a single line is simple: C-k, deleting a bunch of lines is also quite simple: C-u <number> C-k – which could be as simple as in vi/vim.)
