The proof of person to verify is something completely different...

Agree, but this is not consensus. This is how you can join the "validators pool", not how blocks are validated/added to the blockchain (consensus).

It is a consensus. POW is a consensus where 1 hash = 1vote, POS is a consensus where 1$ = 1vote, POP is a consensus where 1 person is 1 vote.

"PoW and PoS (proof of stake) are the two best known consensus mechanisms."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work

So Proof of Person is also a consensus mechanism.
