Except in your example the king is not delivering the check or checkmate. The rook is. Every example given so far has another piece checking, not the king. The official rules of chess prevent the king from checking. It's specifically prohibited because the only way to do it is to put the attacking king under attack.
In this example would anyone say that if white castles the king is delivering checkmate but if the rook moves to d1 on it's own then the rook is delivering checkmate? It seems like either way, it's the rook that delivers the check.
I guess it kind of depends on how you look at it. Is the king moving and delivering checkmate?? Or is another piece delivering checkmate, and not the king??

If someone wants to argue about what deliver means, then I suppose it does depend on how you look at it. But from a chess perspective, when people say deliver, they are talking about the piece that actually performs the function in question, deliver check, deliver checkmate, deliver stalemate, etc.
In the example I gave earlier, is the bishop delivering checkmate? How is that even possible when the opponents king square is the opposite color of the bishop that is "delivering" checkmate? White to move. Which piece delivers checkmate?
Castling and king discovered attacks
Somebody needs to clarify this vague question: Discovered checks by the king (including castling) should be included. If they don't, you can't checkmate solely with the king. Otherwise, there is no point of this.

The delivery is not the ultimate blow.
In chess it is. The piece that delivers the checkmate delivers "the ultimate blow".
(more real situation, other situations basically will never happen)
had a very similar one in a game once
Checkmating with a queen and king is possible. You need to corner the opponents king and bring you king 1 square away from the other king. Then bring in your queen and checkmate.
Delivering checkmate with a king is impossible. If that were the case this would be delivering checkmate with a pawn.
Interestingly in Chinese Chess the Emperors always have to have a piece between them or the opposing emperor would capture him.
