This page is supposed to be a redirect to the Gulf Cup of Nations instead of being a disambiguation page. Only two tournaments have ever been known as Arabian Gulf Cup which are Gulf Cup of Nations and UAE League Cup. Per WP:DISAMBIGUATION#Is there a primary topic?, Gulf Cup of Nations is the primary topic (more than 6 times as many results on search engine, twice as many articles link to the page, traffic is about 5 times greater for Gulf Cup of Nations than for UAE League Cup, Arabian Gulf Cup has been the Gulf Cup of Nations' official name since 1970 whereas it is only a temporary sponsorship name for the UAE League Cup for the past 4 years, plus the UAE League Cup itself only existed for 9 years compared to 48 years for Gulf Cup of Nations). Per WP:DISAMBIGUATION#Deciding to disambiguate (third bullet point), this means that a disambiguation page is not needed, all that is needed is a hatnote on the primary topic's page. The Gulf Cup of Nations already has this hatnote: This article is about the international competition. For the Emirati cup competition that is known as the Arabian Gulf Cup for sponsorship reasons, see UAE League Cup. Thus, Arabian Gulf Cup being a disambiguation page is going directly against Wikipedia guidelines, and it should simply be a redirect to Gulf Cup of Nations. I hope you will be able to implement this. Thank you. Hashim-afc (talk) 21:28, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
