As the world's most used social network for several years now, Facebook is a platform that receives more than 2 billion users every month, something that not even WhatsApp can recreate. This popularity, along with its thousands of features and tools for creators, creates a favorable environment for you to create and manage your own page, for whatever purpose you wish.

Go to "General" and look for the "Page visibility" field, click on edit and choose "Page not published". Now save the changes and voila, your page has been deactivated from Facebook.
