Use this process if you want to have a duplicate Facebook pages removed.

It will help if you can get other people to do this as well because if more people report the problem Facebook will take this as additional proof. Don’t overdo this however – aim for another two or three people to submit reports.
  1. Log in to Facebook
  2. Go to the page you want to report as a duplicate page. I’m using the city of Brisbane as an example i.e. as if I were the admin of the official Brisbane City FB page and this was the duplicate
