Submission declined on 28 August 2024 by Devonian Wombat (talk).

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.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

How to improve a draft

Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia – a basic overview on how to edit Wikipedia.
Help:Wikitext – how to use the markup
Help:Referencing for beginners – how to include references
Wikipedia:Article development – how to develop your article
Wikipedia:Writing better articles – how to improve your article
Wikipedia:Verifiability – make sure your article includes reliable third-party sources

You can also browse Wikipedia:Featured articles and Wikipedia:Good articles to find examples of Wikipedia's best writing on topics similar to your proposed article.

Improving your odds of a speedy review

To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags.

Mehdi Mirakhorli is an American research scientist and professor at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, known for his contributions to software and system security, particularly in the development of Secure by Design principles and the creation of the Common Architectural Weakness Enumeration (CAWE) framework.

Mirakhorli's research spans several critical areas in computer science, including software assurance^[1]^[2], cybersecurity^[3], resiliency^[4], and software analysis. His work focuses on developing innovative techniques based on program analysis, software verification, and custom machine learning algorithms to address challenges in software architecture analysis, requirements engineering, software security, software compliance and verification, and source code comprehension.

Mirakhorli's pioneering research in Secure by design has been instrumental in identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities at the architectural level. This work led to the creation of the Common Architectural Weakness Enumeration (CAWE), which systematically categorizes design and implementation flaws that could result in severe security breaches.

In addition to his work on software security, Mirakhorli has contributed to the field of browser security, particularly in the area of plugins and extensions. His research has identified 16 common vulnerability types and proposed 19 potential mitigations.^[5]
