Another stale BLP draft. Subject doesn't appear to meet
WP:ACADEMIC. There is no significant biographical coverage in any publications by unrelated parties; let alone several of them. If the result here is otherwise, it should move to its article space.

I did, yes the references are not references. My question is on the letter of BLP. I don’t think it says what you imply. Maybe it should?

Okay. I am puzzled now. I can't seem to find the section in
the BLP policy that says that drafts must meet the same verification standards as articles. I know I have seen it, but I can't find it. I think that we can agree that the intent of the BLP policy is that draft BLPs must have references. Where does it say that?

Thus spake the current live version: "Applicability of the policy BLP applies to all material about living persons anywhere on Wikipedia, including talk pages, edit summaries, user pages, images, categories, lists, article titles and drafts." Amen.

I see that it says that it applies to user space. Where, exactly, does it say that BLPs without references should be deleted? And what got us here is a BLP without valid references, because it has 404-compliant references.
