Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cover your ass
although I agree previous version of article was substandard, but the current version (Aug 26th 2014) is hopefully upgraded as per . Reasons the term is encyclopedic is that it has been covered by language expert William Safire in several columns http://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/30/magazine/on-language-on-the-edge.html here and http://www.nytimes.com/1987/08/16/magazine/on-language-glossary-of-a-scandal.html here, plus merits an entry in his ''Safire's Political Dictionary'' http://books.google.com/books?id=c4UoX6-Sv1AC&pg=PA164&lpg=PA164&dq=%22CYA%22+%22william+safire%22&source=bl&ots=V2wn_vtyFq&sig=4jJUXANwOshQQfUMqkVRS4UJ1Vg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-3f8U8qkFtO4ogThw4HYCQ&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22CYA%22%20%22william%20safire%22&f=false here. Plus it and its variants (''cover your butt'', ''C.Y.A.'', etc) has been used in different contexts such as by http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/minnesota-takes-aim-colon-cancer-cheeky-new-ad-campaign-article-1.1296786 Minnesota health authorities, that we can treat it as an encyclopedic topic, despite its rather vulgar origin. It is an important term in politics and bureaucracy, and in the interaction between business and government, and has a history which is changing, with different nuances and usages, making it grist for Wikipedia, not just a simple dictionary definition
