To make the determination, for once and for all...until the question arises again.
Which end of a pool table is the head, which end is the foot?!

Aww, dammit!
I can't add a poll on the phone? Fail.

So if you break from what was the foot, does it become the head?

I've seen people do that on tables where the racking area was so badly worn they couldn't get the balls to rack properly.So they reversed the table.
So in that case you are correct.
Foot is the side the rack goes on. You break from the head table and send the cueball down table.
What if there is no name plate?
Hmmm…..
So where is the poop deck?

Me neither. I'm a boat guy. I like to use "bow" and "stern" instead.
Table
Basically the only tables with ball returns require you to establish head from foot, other than that, The foot rail has score counters on the rail and the head rail has a name plate or stamp. You'll see home style tables have "end rail" marked on the bottom side of both end rails....
Mostly the rail location depends on the table and if it's a commercial table or not.

Well there was that one guy who pi$$ed in the pocket during league so I guess that would would be the logical choice?
Don't know whether that was the head or the foot but I'd rather someone pi$$ in the head than on my foot.

I'm more of a focsle and fantail kind of guy.
The poop deck is that which overhangs the stern. I have a ball return on my GC. Ergo, the section of the table that the balls "poop" out of is the stern or foot.
Of course a viable argument can be made that the balls in fact are regurgitating, therefore, that side would be the head. So what do you think of that!
