Alternatively, if you can identify the 2nd "Something important", you can do
things like
:g/^# Start of the range/.,/^# Something important/-1d
which will delete from "Start of the range" through the line before ("-1")
the next line matching "^# Something important".
if you want to ensure that only comment-lines are found, you can
use a branching regexp conjunction:
/^\(# Something important\|[^#]\)/
since you back off by one line either way (either you've found a
part of the comments that is important, or you've found a line
that isn't a comment).
:g/^# Start of the range\n#.*\n#/.,+2d
which does as you describe.
That's a little shorter than using norm, I'll use it. Thanks.
If shorter is what you want, the "." is optional/default, so you
can do
:g/regex/,+2d
