[edit]

While adding other sources, I've also retained Seablogger as a citation to Sullivan being Murphy's partner, because Seablogger is Sullivan's own website. The additional source for that statement is independent, and I've also added a line about Murphy's own commentary on his homosexuality and poetic influences. –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 23:49, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I concur that a person's own blog is a reliable source for a personal fact such as marriage, a partner, etc.. In this case I think the fact that the two men co-authored the published translation of Beowulf also makes their relationship relevant to the article, which is centered on Murphy's career as a poet.
