Just so you know, I think you need to have over 150 fans to get a vanity URL on Facebook....
I don't think I have that many, but it did let me do it. Unfortunately, as I said, it gave me (my personal page) the vanity URL for my fan page. I don't know why it did that, either. There was no place to select that I wanted the URL for my fan page, until AFTER it assigned it to my personal page.

I was on my facebook page and was trying to set up a facebook fan page for a client / organization of mine. I have had nothing but grief. I had to sign out and do a totally different site so that it was not associated with me personally. You can't log in with your username / password and create a fan site unless you want it associated with your personal site.
I am still trying to sort it all out..but here is where I started. http://www.facebook.com/advertising/?pages Go to the Step by step section. You can delete out the other page and then start over here and do it as a new account with a different email login

You MUST associate a fan page with a personal page. So, if your client wants a fan page, THEY should have a personal page. OR, if they want you to take care of everything, you associate the fan page with your personal page. You can have as many fan pages associated with your personal page as you want.
It should not be obvious to someone looking at a fan page that you created it. At least that's how I read it. The example given was a band promoter can have many bands' fan pages under his personal page as he wants, but they have to be associated with
someone's personal page. I guess so FB can track back to who started the page if there is any quibbling about who owns the right to have the fan page for a band.
I'm ok with my vanity stuff as I now have multiple versions of the B&B vanity URL so no one else can.
