Hmmm. I can think of at least two potential articles that might take precedence for this article title - signalling flares (the kind you use when your boat's about to sink), and those appalling 70's fashion items. Shift this to "Flare Corporation", perhaps? -- Robert Merkel 22:14, 4 February 2002
I have removed the military POV of this article, maybe that will remove some objections. The Hokkaido Crow 17:33, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
I saw this new stub and i was pretty sure that distress rockets were the same as flares. Also the story about the titanic seems not correct. Thanks Leah ( talk) 17:19, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Why have military use included when there is a separate article on countermeasure flares? -- THE FOUNDERS INTENT TALK 12:28, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Do somebody know when the supporters started to use flares to build up the atmosphere? I think the ultras in Italy was first but when did they start? -- Lindberg47 ( talk) 11:37, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
The flare kit I bought included pistol with a white flare for practice and five red flares, and two hand-held red flares for use when rescuers are closing in. Instructions for disposal of out-of-date flares included firing the flares horizontal across water under circumstances that precluded mistaking the firing as a distress signal (vertical firing of red flare). How much detail is too much for the article? Naaman Brown ( talk) 14:04, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Two recent edits in flare disambiguation page have lead me to file this RfC. Two editors ( OnBeyondZebrax and 98.229.36.30) think this article is the primary topic of "flare", meaning that when a person searches "flare" in Wikipedia, most of the time he or she is looking for this article.
Please note that one of the results of this discussion could be renaming this article to "Flare" and renaming "Flare" to "Flare (disambiguation)". Best regards, Codename Lisa ( talk) 07:17, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Some statistics to help:
It would seem to me that almost as many people are looking for flare (countermeasure) as flare (pyrotechnic), on which basis alone I would be inclined to think that pyrotechnic should not be the primary topic. Samwalton9 ( talk) 13:37, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Response to David Eppstein: Hi. You oppose because there are backlinks? By chance, did you know that we can actually fix the backlinks? And it is easy to do that too: There are only 8 pages with incoming links to flare, all from the article namespace, that need fixing. Best regards, Codename Lisa ( talk) 19:27, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
I'm going to start disambiguating flare (pyrotechnic) to flare using AWB for everyone's information. This may take some time so I'll be doing it as an ongoing thing.
