1) What is the reasoning for the current division between "buildings and towers" and "structures"? For example, why is Tokyo Tower a "structure" but not a "tower" or "building"?
2) Some buildings not strictly speaking in Tokyo-to are listed. This is problematic because ill-defined list criteria is a valid reason for deletion. Additionally, there is quite a variety of material here, including buildings proposed to be constructed, buildings under construction, and timeline of buildings which used to be the tallest. This is starting to make the list criteria even more vague.
3) There needs to be a lede for the entire list which will summarize the well-defined criteria for inclusion and summarizes the content. See Wikipedia:List_guideline#List content. This will solve some of the issues in 2).

Regarding 1), I think what confused me is that the description for the first list says it lists "skyscrapers and towers" and when you look at the names, some have "tower" in them. But looking through the buildings, I think they are all skyscrapers. Perhaps it would be less confusing if the division was between "structures" and "skyscrapers". The first clearly includes things like Tokyo Tower while the second would indicate habitable buildings. Or in the description just call all the items in the first one "buildings", which the section heading already says, and emphasize it is for habitable buildings.
As for combining idea, I think combining the lists and using different criteria in the same list would be unaesthetic. So I don't particularly like that solution. -- C S ( talk) 14:34, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Here is a website with some great information on the tallest buildings in Tokyo. It can't be used as a source, but it is a great starting point: http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~building-pc/tokyo/to.htm -- Torsodog Talk 16:01, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Proposing merging List of tallest buildings in Shinjuku, Tokyo into this article. There is little to no information in that article that isn't already presented in this article. -- Torsodog Talk 00:33, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
