That is not true. I know of groups that are evangelical and maintain the Nicene creed. Furthmore, the SBC, which is the focus of this article, is cleary Trinitarian.

#1. I have no doubt some evangelical groups hold to the Nicene creed. But the reverse is not true that if a group does not hold to the Nicene creed it is not Evangelical. This is not similar to the case with the Assyrian Church, the Copts, Ethiopian, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox or Syriac churches - these all state that the beliefs encapsulated in the Nicene creed are what defines Christians.

#2 Going on the above, do the groups you list hold to the beliefs in the Nicene creed (meaning saying "if you don't believe that Jesus died and rose from the dead (say), then you aren't in our definition evangelical"? I doubt that they do (though could be wrong).

#3 you are correct, the Southern Baptist are clearly those who believe in a Triune godhead, unlike the Pentecostals listed above
