How To Delete A Facebook Page

A Facebook page connects personalities with fans, helps promote business, and is
used to reach a targeted audience, among other things. It's a public profile. 
A Facebook page is very different from a Facebook profile. Facebook Profile
represents you as an individual where you can share your personal information like
current work experience, photo, current city, interests, videos, home town, etc.

On the other hand, a Facebook page is a public representation of a person, place,
thing, organization, or group. Anyone on Facebook can follow the posts of the page
depending upon the permissions.

There are two types of pages on Facebook. One is for communities, public, fan
followings, and other is Facebook Business Page. Every page will have an admin or a
group of admins who allows people to like a page or follow posts. They publish the
posts also.
