WP:NOTNEWS. This article seems to be a summary of news events rather than an encyclopedic article. I don't think this topic is encyclopedic, WP:N gives a presumption of notability, not a guarantee.

 * Keep. Meets WP:PERSISTENCE, the most applicable notability guideline for this type of thing. Coverage more than 5 years after event:, ~9 years after , coverage ~10 years after . Current consensus allows for events to be covered by Wikipedia articles. Beyond WP:N, WP:V (and WP:NOT), all of which this article meets, we don't treat topics as encyclopedic or otherwise. If you think the article can be improved, either do so, tag it, or discuss it in the talk page. &mdash;siro&chi;o 02:02, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. My first instinct was that this is just another random non-notable news story that someone made an article for, and that's probably what it was when the article was created. But the sources provided by Siroxo suggest that this has since had long term effects in Japan and has become a regular subject of study. I wouldn't object to a merge if there's an appropriate target, but I don't see Elevators in Japan being a viable article any time soon. Thebiguglyalien  ( talk ) 19:35, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * We could merge the information into List of elevator accidents, because while almost no single accident might be notable enough for expansion into its own article, the whole collection and how safety practices changed in the elevator industry might be worth noting.
