This submission appears to read more like a résumé than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, that provide secondary analysis of the subject's life in context. In contrast, résumés will tend to list individual accomplishments and rely on self-published sources, which might unduly focus on positive events and fail to properly balance their weight. Please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies by using independent, reliable sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Wikipedia guidelines prohibit the use of LLMs to write articles from scratch. In addition, LLM-generated articles usually have multiple quality issues, to include:

Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
Essay-like writing
Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
Close paraphrasing

Please address these issues. The best way is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.

Comment: No substantive improvement since the last decline, and the number of declined submissions seems to be growing without bound. The prose still contains vapid vague AI slop, such as "has been discussed", "has been reviewed by", "appeared at festivals", "was noted for", "received coverage in European music media", "was featured in", and so on, without substantive detail. The "Reception" section appears entirely AI-generated complete with vague promotional phrasing and markdown formatting typical of LLM generation, in spite of WP:NEWLLM disallowing writing articles from scratch using AI, even after six declines. As such, there is no path to acceptance of this draft into mainspace without a complete rewrite. Start with sources complying with WP:Golden Rule and only then write the article based only on what those sources say, in your own words. ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 04:15, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Comment: Still lacking inline citations for a majority of the article, though I think GNG is shown monkey_smashing^keyboards (talk) 18:23, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

Comment: No reference change since last submission. Source 2 potentially usable but the rest don't seem to be GNG sources. Fermiboson (talk) 13:01, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Comment: Not meeting WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. Additional references in independent and reliable sources are needed to demonstrate notability. Hitro talk 11:35, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

German pianist and composer

Clemens Christian Poetzsch during a studio session in 2012

Clemens Christian Poetzsch (also Clemens Pötzsch; born 12 March 1985) is a German pianist and composer active in contemporary classical and jazz-influenced music. His work has been discussed in European music journalism, particularly in the context of ensemble performance and cross-genre collaboration.^[1]

Career

[edit ]

Poetzsch was a founding member of the German-Lebanese quartet Masaa, which performed internationally during the 2010s. The ensemble appeared at festivals and concert venues in Europe and the Middle East and was noted for combining jazz improvisation with influences from folk and contemporary music.^[3]

As a solo artist, Poetzsch has released recordings and performed in concert settings focused on piano-led compositions. His album Remember Tomorrow (2019), released in the Neue Meister series by Edel, received coverage in European music media.^[4]

Further coverage in *London Jazz News* highlighted Poetzsch’s participation in cross-genre projects, emphasizing contrasts between structured composition and freer improvisational passages.^[9]

Music critic Doug Thomas has written about Poetzsch’s solo recordings, characterizing them as introspective works that draw on classical piano traditions while incorporating contemporary textures.^[10]
