Dear Diana,
Someone should change or remove that sentence from Wikipedia. Any
serious genetic genealogist knows that a SNP that occurs in less than 1% of
the population can be a "useful SNP", at least from a genealogical
perspective.
Sincerely,
Tim Janzen

Apparently the consensus is that a SNP variation must appear in at least 1%
of the population to be phylogenetically "useful," which means the SNP
cannot be recent:
