I have a 1s, 2s, and 3s lipos. What is the lowest PER CELL that the voltage can go?

When i google it, i get:
3.7V is the average voltage; LiPo can be charged up to 4.20V and discharged down to 3.0V per cell, any lower or higher in voltage and the cell will almost certainly be damaged and will become unstable which can be very dangerous.

But when i search on forums, some people say 3.7V, some say 3.8V, but here we are with 3.0V...

Cadman1981, The info in the article coincides with everything that I have read. However it could have been written a little bit easier to understand.
3.7 "average voltage", perhaps should have read "storage voltage". My findings have been 7.2 to 7.4 for a 2s pack. "can be charged up to" might have been better explained with words like "peaked to" or "balanced". And, from what I have read, below 3.0 will hurt them.
