check up on

Same reason as for check into above: IMO, it's check up + on; not a phrase as a whole, but a phrase combined with the beginning of another (prepositional) phrase. Longtrend (talk) 17:12, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Keep Even MWOnline finds this one idiomatic. There may be a UK sense of "check up" that is applicable here as Macmillan has, but that does not carry over to the US. I find the [[check up]] entry suspect, especially as the usex is for check up on. Check on and check up on are nearly synonymous with up adding some sense of thoroughness or completion.
