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_d…38398379.

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:How
to 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.
