Ālī Qāpū is an imperial palace in Isfahan, Iran, built in the late 16th century. The palace served as the official residence of Persian emperors of the Safavid dynasty. In 1979, UNESCO inscribed the palace and the adjoining Naqsh-e Jahan Square as a World Heritage Site due to their cultural and historical importance. This panoramic photograph of Ālī Qāpū, captured using high-dynamic-range imaging during the golden hour, consists of twenty-five frames digitally merged together. Photograph credit: Amir Pashaei

– Per WP:COMMONNAME; English language sources don't use the diacritics in this case. Example from UNESCO's website: "The pavilion of Ali Qapu on the west side forms the monumental entrance to the palatial zone and to the royal gardens which extend behind it." This argument can be further supported by WP:TITLECON; Ali Qapu Gate, Qazvin, and Ali Qapu, Ardabil are two examples where the very same name has been transliterated without the diacritics. It seems that the diacritics were added to distinguish it from the disambiguation page Ali Qapu, which I suggest be moved to Ali Qapu (disambiguation) (as it's already a redirect to that page).

The bibliography + UNESCO listing + single good ref here about the structure in general (the other one is a noncredible blog about coins) state the structure to be a gate/monumental entrance to the larger Safavid palace complex/district. This is clearly mentioned twice in the first two paragraphs, but the article calls it an "imperial palace" in the first sentence and nearly goes out of its way to call it a "palace" and "imperial residence" everywhere else, including the infobox. Since it is, apparently, a very large gate with rooms in it, it should be described as such and not mentioned as a palace in itself. The Safavid palace complex itself strangely does not have an article, but that is a separate issue. PhilosophicalSomething ( talk) 01:17, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
