SoP. It's just a gutter for rain. Also I feel like "gutter" is the usual term; "rain gutter" might be used to specify what type of gutter. Though I guess it can stay as an alt form if somebody makes an entry for raingutter. – Gormflaith (talk) 23:21, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- In searching for one-word raingutter (which does seem attestable) I was surprised to learn that cars/vehicles can have rain gutters -- used for draining water from skis mounted on a roof rack etc. Therefore our definition about the eaves of a building isn't sufficient in any case.

- I'm pretty sure my old Mercedes 230TE had them. DonnanZ (talk) 07:43, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- Conceptually, I would think that many things (anything?) could have gutters, so I agree the definition should (and now does) not strictly limit itself to houses. Anyway, this apparently meets COALMINE. - -sche (discuss) 19:19, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
- So, keep per COALMINE: raingutter. (I have extended the entry to resolve the vehicle roof-rack point made above.) Equinox ◑ 15:20, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
- I agree with Equinox; keep. – Gormflaith (talk) 19:38, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
