The South End is pretty vague too. Is Quinpool Road in the South End? Spring Garden Road? And how far does the West End go?
Peninsular Halifax needs a few extra neighbourhood definitions beyond what it has to describe the parts that are qualitatively different. Hollis and Morris for example is completely different from the deep South End on the other side of the railway tracks.

I always considered everything south of Quinpool the South End. North End everything north of the Commons and the citadel between Barrington and Windsor. West End is what ever is left over down towards the West End Mall.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter. The South and North End are the only cool parts of Halifax. LOL (JK)
