That's probably because the definition should include a broader
sense of the meaning of fountain, not only the British one.<br>
As discussed before in this mailing list, this is just too important
in many countries to be just a "stream of water forced upwards
through a small hole, for decorative effect".<br>
If that's the correct definition in Britain, so be it, but please
leave it open to define the original and most used sense of the word
in other countries.<br>

<div dir="ltr">As a British English speaker, that is not a
fountain. A fountain is a "stream of water forced upwards
through a small hole, for decorative effect"<br>
There is another commonly seen item that includes the word
fountain, which is "drinking fountain" but it is a
fundamentally different object and a type of drinking water
object.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The object in the picture looks like a water trough, with a
continuous feed of water. Which in OSM is
tagged amenity=watering_place for animals,
or amenity=drinking_water for human consumption.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking at the wiki it appears the definition of fountain
has become a mess. The wiki by default implies the (British)
English definition of a decorative vertical stream of water,
but other uses of the word "fountain" have been added.</div>

<div>The wiki for amenity=fountain describes it as <br>
"A fountain with cultural, decorational or historical
significance or which serves a recreational purpose."<br>
<br>
I'm surprised about the notability involved in the
description. <br>
<br>
What about this kind of fountain :<br>
