Facebook is very clear on what a "Community" Page is: Choose it at your own peril!!!!

What is a community Page?

A community Page is a Page about an organization, celebrity or topic that it doesn't officially represent. A community Page has a label below its name that identifies it as a community Page and links to the official Page about that topic. For example, a community Page about Facebook would have the label Community Page about Facebook.

If your Page has been mislabeled a community Page, learn how to edit or remove this label.
