::::::What do you call the team who wins the FA Cup or the Carabao Cup? Aren't those titles? Just check [https://www.ldoceonline.com/Sport-topic/title here].
::::::The point 3 is your example (Mr., Sir), point 4 "the position of being the winner of an important sports competition". [[User:Rpo.castro|Rpo.castro]] ([[User talk:Rpo.castro|talk]]) 11:15, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
:::::::Maybe these are titles now, I cannot argue against that, but personally I would still call them Cup Winners, or even Champions informally. They haven't won a prestigious title IMO. A search on Newspapers.com for "FA Cup title" gives 1,517 results. Only 130 prior to 1992, but only 2 before 1971, arguably the beginning of commercial sport. That Cup began in 1871. "FA Cup" returns over 13,000 results before 1971.
:::::::An example in point 1 could be a book or film. Nobody says: "did you read the title I leant you last week", "He's the star of the title released over Summer". For me, point 4 evolved from somewhere and there has only really been organised sports since late 1800s (?), so it must be relatively recently acceptable to call the collective organisation of a competition/championship/cup/league itself, a title.
:::::::The first FIA Yearbook of Sport (1968) has regs saying this in Classification and Prizes of the ICM:
:::::::*''There will be an International Championship for Makes and a Cup for Grand Touring Cars''
:::::::*''The make with the highest total of points in the Championship (both prototypes and GTs) ... '''"will be granted the title of Champion."'''''
:::::::*''The make .... (in classification of GTs) "will be '''granted the Cup''' for Grand Touring cars."'' (No title)
:::::::This is what makes most sense to me.
:::::::Similarly in F1, the driver with the most points ''"will be declared Champion"'', a different way of saying a point 3 title without using 'title'. They will also ''"receive the Championship Cup and a Diploma from the FIA"''. However, no declarations or titles in the Manufacturers Cup: ''"A Cup will be awarded to the manufacturer..."'' Echo that for the ERC for Drivers and the Ladies' Cup within it. The European Trophy for Formula 2 is not surprisingly, a trophy to be won.
:::::::Apologies for the long post, I find this interesting. [[User:Rally Wonk|Rally Wonk]] ([[User talk:Rally Wonk|talk]]) 13:52, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
::::::::World is constantly changing so something that wasn't considered in the past can be now, or the meaning of the words can be slightly different too. But looking at your search for "FA cup title" I don't think it really shows if its a title or not. Sir is a title, but usually you don't use Sir and title in same phrase. That doesn't mean it isn't a title. I could use other (probably better) example. I think we should look: given any club that have won the FA club, will it be listed among the titles they have or not?
::::::::And as for F1 world manufacturers we have this examples about McLaren title [https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/facts-and-stats-mclarens-record-26-year-title-wait-ends-and-leclerc-scores.2eFJvtofZMatNNagF8f2NT 1] and [https://www.planetf1.com/news/abu-dhabi-grand-prix-2024-race-report 2].
::::::::But I agree its interesting discussing this things, especially the past and how the things evolved through history. [[User:Rpo.castro|Rpo.castro]] ([[User talk:Rpo.castro|talk]]) 17:51, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
:::::::::''"I think we should look: given any club that have won the FA club, will it be listed among the titles they have or not?"''
:::::::::The club's websites can say different things. The [https://www.thefa.com/-/media/thefacom-new/files/competitions/2024-25/efac/rules-of-the-fa-challenge-cup-2024-25.ashx FA Cup rules] do not use the words title or champion. Very little there except ''"The Association shall loan the Trophy to the Club that wins the Competition."''
:::::::::Rule C.11. of the Premier League says ''"the Club which is at the top of the League Table following the completion of the Competition shall be the League Champions."''. This is the definition of the title (in capitals) bestowed on the club at the top of the table, else there's no point in the rule.
:::::::::See [https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/230603125223-05-fa-cup-final-man-city-man-united-0603.jpg FA Cup winners], [https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?q=Carabao%20Cup%20Final%202024%20Results%20Cx&w=1280&h=720&c=5&rs=1&p=0 Carabao Cup winners], but [https://cdn.sillyseason.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Premier-League-winners-list-by-year-All-time-past-winners-scaled.jpg Premier League Champions].
:::::::::If a list has competition wins such as "1978 FA Cup, 1985 Division 1, 1995 Champions' League, 2001 Premier League etc"; then these are (informal) [https://www.ldoceonline.com/Sport-topic/title type 1 titles], no? They are the names of the competitions, not the position bestowed upon the club? Which means to say a club that won the FA Cup title sounds as pointless as "Rpo.castro title makes some great edits on Wikipedia title." (If that's the same as the 'Sir' point you made I apologise) Look at the [https://www.ldoceonline.com/Sport-topic/title type 4 example with Tyson], they don't ''name'' the competition but the [[List of WBA world champions|Champion '''position''']] that Tyson won from those that could bestow it on him. F1 Champions in the examples you post are type 4 title holders, they are Champions.
:::::::::"FA Cup holders" and "FA Cup winners" sounds better than "FA Cup title holders" and "FA Cup title winners" as there's no title bestowed. "Premier League champions" or "the title holders" is better than "Championship title holders". Perhaps the simplest question could be is "winner" a title? No.
:::::::::Anyway, here's some FA Cup winner's links that cannot say this is wrong. They prefer the term "Honours" in general, to what you are calling 'titles'.

::::::::::In one hand we have something like "the position of being the winner of an important sports competition", in the other hand only if that competition is called "championship or they can be called champions". Stretchy no? Champions League Champions or Champions League winners? Is it a title? And Europa league? What about Olympic medalists? They aren't called champions but is it a title isn't it? And what about GP2? Its just a series, so just a winner not like the much different Fórmula 2?
::::::::::Using google to ask "who's the xxx(nationality)xxx club with more titles?" It's common to get results counting all the major competitions: National championships, cups, supercups and European competitions.
::::::::::Like [https://www.besoccer.com/new/top-10-clubs-with-most-titles-in-the-world-1143901 this case]. For a lot of people and media "titles", like the definition given in a post above are synonyms of "major competitions", "honours" or "trophies". Like discussed above, things might have started with a meaning and developed into a broader new one.
::::::::::And yes there is who can say FA Cup Titles. [https://www.transfermarkt.com/footballs-oldest-competition-the-teams-with-the-most-fa-cup-titles-of-all-time/view/news/431992 lije here] or [https://news.williamhill.com/football/fa-cup/top-five-most-successful-clubs/ here] (used at least 4 times in the articles).
::::::::::I stick with major competition like previous given definition or [https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/title this] unless a better one is given and that is widely accepted by people and media.

:::::::::::One (usually) has to be a winner first to earn the title of champion. And being named 'championship' for the competition probably came after the first champions so I don't think it's important. Because, one doesn't even have to be competing in sport to be a champion - one can be a human rights or animal welfare champion for example. This is the etymological root of the word - [https://www.etymonline.com/word/champion someone who fights on behalf of another or a cause]. In my archaic way of looking at things, this is the prestigiousness of 'the title' that I talk of.
:::::::::::And still IMO, there shouldn't be more than one Champion (at least in the same class/weight/category/gender/age awarded by a governing body in a sporting discipline. Champions are the ones who represent and define their sport, that's what the competition was for! Now I may sound like contradicting myself, I guess there's no reason why an amateur football side can't be champions of their local league, however only if the local league promoter are the one's to declare the title. If it's not official I don't think it counts - else there's justification for Hamilton being called F1 Champion 2021 if anybody can bestow the title of 'champion'. On that thought, trusted media sources can put what they want to write about titles, and they are free to disagree with me or just be wrong as they often are, as we all can be.
:::::::::::Officially the Champions League and the Europa League do not have champions or titles awarded, just a team that wins the final, but they do have 'titleholders'! [[User:Rally Wonk|Rally Wonk]] ([[User talk:Rally Wonk|talk]]) 21:49, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
::I'm not sure I see this precept that Championship wins are titles and Cup wins aren't. For instance, the headline karting competition, the [[FIA Karting World Championship]], is a stand-alone race. [[User:MSport1005|MSport1005]] ([[User talk:MSport1005|talk]]) 19:24, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
:::A championship can be a stand-alone race. The ''winner'' of the race is awarded the ''title'' of ''champion driver'' amongst awards such as prize money and physical trophies. Traditionally, cup winners didn't get a title, but now they can be called champions, title holders and so on, depending who wrote it and where you look.
