By who? I don't see how this is within the competence of anyone other than the community.
Jimbo Wales. I can't find the original addition in history, but it's reaffirmed with http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ACriteria_for_speedy_de....

When did the board give Jimbo the power to pass CSD criteria?
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policy#How_are_policies_enforced.3F. The CSD is classed as policy.
"Much of Wikipedia policy dates from before 2002. Policy change now comes from three sources:
* A proposed policy being adopted by consensus. (See Wikipedia:Howto create policy) * A slow evolution of convention and common practice eventually codified as a policy. * Jimbo, the Board, or the Developers, particularly for copyright, legal issues, or server load."

So you read it on a Wikipedia project page, and this makes it so?
I can't even find out where this CSD "was decreed from above" in the first place.
I think I've been misled.
