This article also includes instructions for merging two Facebook pages, unpublishing a page, and reporting a page to be deleted. Then, you can decide whether to delete the page altogether or just report it to Facebook, whichever is more convenient for you. However, before you begin, remember to read the terms of service and privacy policies on Facebook before you start.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unpublishing_a_Facebook_page\"><\/span>Unpublishing a Facebook page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to unpublish your Facebook page, you can do it from within the Facebook app. The settings menu will have three horizontal lines in the bottom right corner, allowing you to select the Pages menu or the gear-shaped Settings icon at the top. In the General tab, you will find the visibility section. Under the page&#8217;s visibility section, select Unpublish. This will remove the page from the newsfeed of everyone who has liked it.<\/p>\n<p>After selecting the Unpublish button, you will need to share the reason for unpublishing the page. You can also change the status of the page from unpublished to published by choosing the &#8220;Published&#8221; option under the &#8220;General&#8221; tab. Once you&#8217;ve completed these steps, you can then change the visibility of the page to friends, family, or all users. You can also choose to unpublish a Facebook page from your mobile device if you don&#8217;t want it to be publicly visible to other users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Merging_two_Facebook_pages\"><\/span>Merging two Facebook pages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have two Facebook pages, merging them may be the right solution. You can merge two pages for the same purpose, or you can merge both to create a new one. But you must be aware that merging pages cannot be undone once done, and that the process can take up to three to five business days. Before merging the pages, you should check the stipulations of both pages. If one of them is redundant, it may not be worth merging.<\/p>\n<p>Before merging two Facebook pages to close one, make sure the pages have similar followings. It may create a &#8220;shock factor&#8221; if you merge two pages with different fan bases. It may also be a good idea to shut down the old page first. Then, merge the pages using Facebook&#8217;s page merging tool. You can also merge pages manually by logging in to the old page and selecting the merge option.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_rid_of_a_Facebook_page\"><\/span>Getting rid of a Facebook page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Getting rid of a Facebook page can be difficult if you&#8217;re not the owner of the page. Fortunately, there are ways to delete a Facebook page. To delete a page, you must first report it to Facebook. You can also delete a page by choosing &#8220;remove&#8221; from the list of available options. To do so, visit the page&#8217;s settings page. You&#8217;ll see a &#8220;report&#8221; button at the bottom right corner.<\/p>\n<p>Getting rid of a Facebook page is different from deleting a profile. If you are the owner of a page, you will need to be an admin in order to delete it. Deleted pages will be removed from Facebook&#8217;s network within 14 days. However, this won&#8217;t be permanent. If you wish to keep the page, you can unpublish it anytime you want. This option will not delete the page permanently, so it&#8217;s important to remember this if you&#8217;re unsure of how to delete a page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reporting_a_Facebook_page_to_be_deleted\"><\/span>Reporting a Facebook page to be deleted<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you feel that a Facebook page is posting politically controversial content without authority, you can report it to Facebook. Facebook usually takes about 10 reports to take action. Reports received that are more than 10 will be reviewed by a moderator. Then you can wait for the process to be complete. If you don&#8217;t feel like waiting, report it yourself. Facebook&#8217;s policy on derogatory or hateful content is very strict. To be considered hateful, your content should promote hate speech against a particular group or community. It should also not promote scamming, soliciting money for arbitrary services, or impersonating a person or organization.<\/p>\n<p>To report a page, simply log in to your account and navigate to the page in question. Click the &#8216;3-dot&#8217; menu icon located below the cover photo to bring up the menu. Select &#8216;Find Support or Report Page&#8217;. Choose an appropriate reason for reporting, then click &#8216;Next&#8217;. If your complaint is approved, Facebook will take the necessary action against the page. Once you have reported a page, Facebook will take the necessary action to remove it from their system.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"202\" width=\"362\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/48Dmzg_YeCg\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Close a Facebook Page If you are wondering how to close a Facebook page, this article will explain the different options available.
