Never successfully lands on Mars
Where will the first successful Starship landing on Mars occur? Success is gauged by not falling over or going kablooey within 15 min of touchdown.
For the named locations, landing in the vicinity would qualify (say, within 100 km), as would use of the name in official communications.
If you want some insight into SpaceX's thinking as of a few years ago, you may find this conference paper interesting.
