wikimedia list article

This is a list of American football players who played only one game in the National Football League (NFL) during the league's second decade from 1930 to the 1939. This list does not include those who were on an active roster but never actually appeared in a game. Nor does it include those who appeared only in a pre-season or exhibition game.
Key
Date - The "Date" column provides the date of the player's appearance in an NFL game. If the exact date has not yet been verified, then the column simply lists the year.
Start - The "Start" column states whether or not the player's appearance in an NFL game was as a "starter". If the player appeared in the game as a substitute, the entry should state "No".
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1930–1939)” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 15, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q111953105. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1930 and 1939.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
