Good luck with that. I had someone literally impersonating me with a fake account, and directly trying to get me fired from my job by sending my boss's friends messages. My supposed friends at Facebook were apathetic to it and wouldn't even refer me to someone who could help. My opinion of the whole company took a nosedive after that.
You just admitted in your previous post that you're unsure if you would be successful in getting your own friends to help (even if this isn't you personally being affected in this situation, a favor is a favor), so even if your post wasn't incredibly rude it would still be intellectually dishonest. As you can see, my standards are already quite high.
Facebook actually has a clear escalation path for requests from friends and family --- no guarantee that you'll get a response, or the outcome you'd like, but at least someone will look at it.
This might sound extreme, but if every other option has been exhausted it could be worth filing a claim in small claims court.
That should get the attention of someone more senior in the company, and there's a chance they'll see reason and have the page removed instead of litigating.
If you do wind up going to court, it'll be a media circus and they'll get some bad PR regardless whether you win or lose. Who knows, you might even win if you can show damages.

>> at the bottom of the page it claims to be automatically generated off interest of the topic
I know op says that he/she was 15 when it was created, and I completely get that 15 year olds have a particular sense of humor, but I genuinely wonder what sort of actions were taken to demonstrate "interest in the topic" that would lead to this page being automatically created.

What sort of damages could they prove?

Apparently posting this to Reddit gave it the exposure needed, apparently Buzzfeed did something useful by investigating this.
