====== What to do about a Facebook Page that disappeared ====== Google searches: * how to deal with disappeared facebook page * facebook page disappeared 2020 I have posted this to Quora: * Did you have any luck to get your Page back? For those reading, this is different than losing access to your profile. Your profile, and your timeline, is for you personally, and is what you first log into. A Page is something you create for links about an interest, or a business, that you are involved in, and has its own set of followers separate from your friends list. I just lost a Facebook Page last week (April 2020), that I created back in 2013. It had accumulated 200 followers. It was called “Three Gratitudes and The Happiness Advantage”. It was one of several pages I have created. I still have the other pages on showing on my account, but this one vanished. I have requested that the page be restored via various Facebook forms, but no one has contacted me. Nothing has gone wrong with access to my main profile, or any other page that I run. I am tracking my research on what to do about this here: web_development:social_media:facebook:dealing_with_a_vanished_facebook_page [TheGarnet Wiki] (https://www.thegarnet.net/web_development/social_media/facebook/dealing_with_a_vanished_facebook_page) * [[https://www.quora.com/qemail/track_click?al_imp=eyJ0eXBlIjogMzMsICJoYXNoIjogIjB8MnwxfDU1Njg5NjMifQ%3D%3D&al_pri=8&aoid=8CdIALIHpqu&aoty=1&aty=4&cp=2&ct=1587506935613911&et=130&id=52db2f98208d4cfab9b198140c0279ed&source=7&src=1&st=1587506935631176&stories=1_YGgwxMV26Pu%7C1_8CdIALIHpqu%7C1_8iy96IMOC1P%7C1_zB5V2MwGzpY%7C1_VH2mPKM7kJd%7C1_jl2py7MJXYa%7C1_doLoqxz1uvj%7C1_8boGAs3lYuA%7C1_FT2tkeTiNSZ%7C1_mcgQdRtxzlW&ty=1&ty_data=8CdIALIHpqu&uid=LeOstju2Qha&v=0|Posted to Quora]] Articles * [[https://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/missing-facebook-pages-what-to-do-when-facebook-takes-your-page-away-erik-fisher/|Missing Facebook Pages: What to Do When Facebook Takes Your Page Away]] * December 4, 2015 - Social Media Marketing Podcast, produced by Social Media Examiner * Accounts had been secured: * We secured email with 2-step authentication to our corporate Gmail accounts and we turned on Facebook Login Approvals.
