Cristian Zarco
Argentine footballer
Cristian Osvaldo Zarco (born 20 April 1996) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward.
Career
Zarco began his career in Platense's ranks. He made his professional bow for the Primera B Metropolitana club on 10 May 2014 against Colegiales, coming off the substitutes bench in place of Jonathan Páez as the fixture ended 2–2. His first start arrived on 25 May versus Deportivo Armenio, with Platense finishing the 2013–14 campaign fourth; eventually losing in the play-off final to Temperley. Platense did, however, win promotion four years later in 2017–18, a season Zarco scored his first senior goal during a victory away to Almirante Brown in September 2017; in what was his twenty-sixth appearance for the club. He departed Quilmes in June 2019.

Why this record matters
The phrase “argentine footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 30, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q62063388. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996, 2014, 2013 and 2017.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
