In my case, i needed to create a fan page for my website, nabtron, so i selected the second option from category “brand, product, or organization“. And chosed the sub category from the drop down list to “website“. You can also chose Artist, brand or public figure, if your fan page is going to be related to this category.

Fill out the remaining form, it asks below to accept that you are authorized to create this page and that to enter your full name, just enter the name that is on your main profile as in my case “Nabeel Khan“. And then continue to the next page.
