That&#8217;s a question many people have, and I&#8217;m about to explain how to do it. First, you need to know what the difference is between Unpublishing a page and deleting one. Depending on the situation, you may want to Unpublish your page instead of deleting it. For example, if you have duplicate pages that you want to consolidate, or if you want to create a memorial page for a deceased loved one.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unpublishing_a_Facebook_page_vs_deleting_a_Facebook_page\"><\/span>Unpublishing a Facebook page vs deleting a Facebook page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering whether you should unpublish your Facebook page, or should you just delete it? The answer depends on your specific situation. While unpublishing your page means that no one will be able to see it, you will still have all of your posts and wall content. It is also a great option if you&#8217;d like to sell your Facebook page or merge with another one.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to delete your Facebook page, you might want to rethink your strategy. If you&#8217;ve reached the threshold where you&#8217;ve reached 100 followers, unpublishing your page may be a better option than deleting it. In this case, you can try tweaking your content and launching a new page. You can also try a different name for your Facebook page. Previously, you could change the name of your Facebook page if it has less than 200 followers.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re worried about the consequences of unpublishing your page, you can always opt to delete it from Facebook. To do so, log in to your Facebook account and click on the Settings tab. Scroll down until you see the &#8220;Delete Page&#8221; option. You must make sure that you are an admin of your Facebook page before you delete it. If you want to delete your page permanently, you must be the admin of the page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_a_Facebook_page_if_youre_consolidating_duplicate_pages\"><\/span>Delete a Facebook page if you&#8217;re consolidating duplicate pages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can merge duplicate Facebook pages if the names and categories match, but the content on the duplicates will be deleted. In addition, you will lose all posts, photos, and reviews, and the page&#8217;s username will disappear. While you may wish to merge duplicate pages for SEO purposes, this is not a good idea if the duplicate pages are still active and have active advertising campaigns. Regardless, deleting a duplicate page should only be done when you have no other choice.<\/p>\n<p>You should not delete a Facebook page if you&#8217;re trying to consolidate duplicate pages, but merging them may be a good idea. Merging Facebook pages will make it easier for customers to find your page. Plus, it will eliminate any confusion your customers may have. To merge Facebook pages, all you need to do is log into Facebook and go to Settings &gt; Pages. You can merge your pages as long as they have the same name and address.<\/p>\n<p>To merge duplicate Facebook pages, first log in to your Facebook account and go to the Settings tab. Select your pages and then click the three dots next to them. You will see a blue question asking &#8220;Delete Page Name.&#8221; After confirming the deletion, the page will be deleted. You have 14 days to restore it. Once the process is complete, you&#8217;ll no longer have to worry about the duplicate pages.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_a_Facebook_page_if_youre_memorializing_a_loved_one\"><\/span>Delete a Facebook page if you&#8217;re memorializing a loved one<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve decided to create a memorial Facebook page for a loved one, you must be prepared to deal with a number of problems. First, the person who passed away may not have wanted a page, or it may not be appropriate in the circumstances. In any case, you will be required to fill out a memorialization request form on Facebook to ensure that the deceased person&#8217;s wishes are honored.<\/p>\n<p>After creating a memorial page, you&#8217;ll need to provide proof of the deceased person&#8217;s death. If the deceased was a regular Facebook user, you must provide a death certificate, along with his or her name and email address. You can memorialize the deceased&#8217;s profile with a few additional details and photos, but otherwise, you will have fewer options to create a memorial page.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is to provide proof of your authority. To delete a memorialized account, you must have a power of attorney or estate letter. You can send a scan of the deceased&#8217;s death certificate to Facebook. Once you&#8217;ve provided the proof of authority, you can then request the removal of the page. You must provide a valid email address and the full name of the person who owned the account. When you&#8217;ve completed the process, Facebook will review your request and may require secondary documentation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Delete a Facebook Page?
