Anyone can create a Facebook Page, but only official representatives can create a Page for an organization, business, brand or public figure. The Page creator can then assign roles to other people to help manage the Page.
If you'd like to create a Facebook presence for a celebrity or organization and you're not officially authorized to do so, you can create a Facebook group. Learn more about the differences between Pages and groups.
There's no limit to the number of Pages you can manage.
Page names must accurately reflect the Page. Keep in mind that only authorized representatives can manage a Page for a brand, place, organization or public figure.
Page names can't include:
- Terms or phrases that may be abusive or violate someone's rights.
- Improper capitalization. Page names must use grammatically correct capitalization and may not include all capital letters, except for acronyms.
- Symbols (ex: ® ) or unnecessary punctuation.
- Long descriptions, such as a slogan. People who manage Pages can add this information to a Page's About section.
- Any variation of the word "Facebook." Learn more at Brand Resources.
- Misleading words. If a Page isn't the official Page of a brand, place, organization or public figure, the Page name can't mislead others into thinking it's an official Page or that it's managed by an authorized representative.
Page names can't consist only of:
- Generic words (ex: Pizza). Pages must be managed by official representatives of the topics they're about.
- Generic geographic locations (ex: New York). Learn more about locations.
If you're having trouble creating your Page, please make sure that the name of your Page follows our guidelines. Also, keep in mind that only official representatives can create a Page for an organization, business, brand or public figure. If you aren't an official representative and would like to create a space for fans of a certain topic or celebrity, you can create a Facebook group.

- Star posts to highlight them
