I have confirmed this error and updated the article with a direct citation of the relevant Playboy issue and page number:

• Hentoff, Nat (February 1975). "Jazz & Pop '75 All-Star Readers' Poll". Playboy. 22 (5). Playboy Enterprises: 165.

I looked further into this and it turns out Karen was ranked in these Playboy annual polls every year from 1974 to 1980. I updated the article to reflect that, though I'm not sure if these reader polls are notable enough to warrant a mention.--Muchness (talk) 14:39, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
