Has this issue been fixed already? Because I am encoutering the same problem. Just created a page site, but needs to be in the news feed and don't know how to move it.

Thanks.

  This fix is rolling out now. You should see an option to "Promote to news" showing up in your pages experience in a few weeks.

    When I turn on the hub news, these pages appear in the news but shouldn't be there.
