I agree, a drinking fountain is not a sink.
it has a water supply and a P-trap drain, I think it may meet the definition of a sink. Not sure someone is going to drop a toaster in to it, but it has everything a sink has.

Of course not. But, it could be a drinking fountain for a dog!

Unfortunately the NEC incorrectly thinks dogs are inferior and not as important as people when in reality it is the opposite.
