In April I had my Facebook page In Memory of Mark Speight removed. The only notification I got from Facebook was that it was disabled (Which came in the middle of the night UK time) but when I clicked on the notification I kept being redirected back to my feed. I'm no expert, but I could tell it was removed, hours after the disabled notification. This meant that I could not see a reason and I had never had any previous violation warnings. I get that Mark Speight was a celebrity, but the name should be obvious that Mark is dead and I was trying to keep his memory alive. I looked at the community standards and can't see what rules I broke. It was clearly not an impersonation as it started with In Memory Of, and while Mark died from suicide I never mentioned it. There was only one time which I hinted at it by saying I hope he found he peace he was looking for, but I wouldn't class that as the glorifying suicide rule. By Facebook's own community standards, they claim to provide you with a reason why they are removing your page. But when I report scammers pretending to be celebrities, Facebook always says they don't go against community standards, even with an obvious scam staring them in the face. If scammers can say they are Elon Musk, why can't I have a page to remember a dead celebrity. Tried many emails to get support but had no responses. With no reasons or previous violations, the page removal was unnecessary and cost me hundreds of fellow Mark Speight fans. Despite updating my email address, Facebook made no attempts to contact me and to this day, have never apologised.

Recommendation: Don't ask Facebook for help, they won't do anything.

That is maddening. Your page was obviously a memorial, not a fake celebrity account. Here is your move: use Meta's disabled account appeal form and upload your ID with a note that it is an In Memory page and you had zero prior strikes. Then email disabled@fb.com and appeals@fb.com with the page URL and screenshots. If they ghost you, post a calm summary on X tagging @Meta and @Facebook. Public pressure works. Keep every screenshot. You deserve a real reason, not silence.
