Basically unsourced for years, this is a subsidiary of another company with a page, and could be merged or redirected to Korn Ferry if some content seems proper. Considering Hay Group no longer exists, and my search for other sources has come up largely dry, I would delete the Hay Group entry either way as it does not pass GNG. Lots of history it seems, but no third-party in-depth coverage available. Isingness (talk) 23:49, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Other material could be merged to Edward N. Hay as well, which was made at the same time as Hay Group by an SPA, leading me to believe both these could have been early spam. Isingness (talk) 23:51, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Korn Ferry, they bought it, so unless it becomes an independent company it belongs in the acquisitions section of their article. Szzuk (talk) 15:08, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Reuters, WSJ coverage, 4,000 employees, all indicate stand-alone notability prior to the acquisition. UnitedStatesian (talk) 20:18, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Korn_Ferry#Acquisitions, the acquiring company. Not independently notable; unsourced promotional 'cruft. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:21, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
