Current references are to the company's own website. I can find a few g-news hits: [http://seekingalpha.com/article/335161-another-ggp-spin-off-rouse-properties-seems-undervalued one] is a writeup in a reliable investment blog, but I don't think this individually asserts notability. The rest of the dozen or so g-news hits are about equally split between press releases and trivial mentions when the real subject is a mall that the subject company owns. I'm just not finding enough independent, non-trivial coverage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Livitup (talk • contribs) 21:51, 8 February 2012‎ (UTC)

Keep, notable as a division of General Growth Properties and standalone notability of properties (e.g. Southland Center, Lansing Mall). That source asserts notability just fine. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:12, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Delete. This business owns and manages a number of shopping malls, though of course they have to put it more grandly than that: It is amongst the largest mall owners in the United States with a geographically diversified portfolio that spans the United States. A blog (not usually a reliable source) that suggests that the business might be undervalued is not a witness to significant effects on history, technology, or culture. And, frankly, owning a number of shopping malls probably doesn't get past minimal significance either. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:44, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Keep on the ground that an appropriate coverage of major business is notable. A business that manages a number of notable properties is, looked at rationally, somewhat likely to me more notable than they are--and it would provide a place for merging/redirecting malls it owns that aren't notable. Inherited notability has nothing to do with this--that refers to a minor derived notability, something that owns many notable things anything is not derived or subsidiary to it.

Keep - I have to agree with DGG; a company which owns a large number of notable malls is likely to be notable. There was a POV issue, but I've [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rouse_Properties&action=historysubmit&diff=476354213&oldid=475845796 started to fix that], and will have a look for some more reliable sources.

:I have found two reliable references - one from MarketWatch and once from Seeking Alpha - and added them to the article. That should more than satisfy the notability criteria. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 23:05, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
