It has long been conjectured that strong interactions give rise to a Hagedorn spectrum and theoretical arguments have been presented in support of Hagedorn spectrum in large N-c QCD. This paper discusses the extent to which the meson spectrum should be viewed as evidence for a Hagedorn spectrum and argues that data do not provide a strong evidence for the Hagedorn conjecture. The conclusion is based on three reasons. It is shown that 'realistic' quark models have a spectrum in which the number of mesons up to 2.3 GeV grows with mass in a very similar way to the spectrum of physical mesons up to 2.3 GeV. However, these models can be shown to not have Hagedorn spectra. It is also shown that the available data are insufficient to determine the Hagedorn temperature. The data can be described with comparable accuracy by various functional forms of the prefactor that yield radically different Hagedorn temperatures. An analysis of the behavior of the spectrum for the various parity-spin-charge conjugation-isospin channels also appears to be inconsistent with what one expects if the data were in the regime dominated by exponential behavior.
