I’m still not clear on the policy. Let’s say I create a page called Unofficial Radiohead Fan Club. I’m not misrepresenting it and the unofficial fan club is a real entity.

I’ve just spoken with iLike about their pages: They took some of their pages off the site temporarily due to an internal bug. Those pages will be back up. Facebook hadn’t taken any action.

Well, there were already 2 “unauthorized” Mashable pages up by time I got to it. I reported them 2 days ago and they are still up with no response. Oddly enough, I just created another Mashable Facebook page and it worked fine. Now there are 3, but this is the official one: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=18807449704

Where’s Facebook on their response time?

Hey this is Ali from iLike.

Re the comment about iLike, here’s the short story… not really much of a story, actually:

Within hours after creating the Pages on Facebook, we found a couple of bugs in the way we had auto-created them. It was our mistake, so to err on the safe side, we voluntarily “unpublished” (but not deleted) all the pages.

We’ve been “republishing” them over the past few days.
