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.

Requested move 26 June 2022

The request to rename this article to Ali Qapu has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

Ālī Qāpū → Ali Qapu
Ali Qapu → Ali Qapu (disambiguation)

– 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).

Converted from a technical request (permalink). – Uanfala (talk) 20:51, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Judging from the pageviews, this appears to be primary topic, while a very quick look at Google Books results suggests that the spelling without the diacritics is indeed more common. – Uanfala (talk) 20:55, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Support removal of the diacritics. But wondering why "palace" is missing from the title when our box and description identify it as "Ali Qapu Palace", as do practically all tourist sites. Walrasiad (talk) 02:23, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Relister comment Relisting one more time due to an additional suggestion to add the word "Palace" into the name that came late in the discussion. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 05:23, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
