It's strange to find an entry about the Council of Nicea that mentions neither Arius nor Athanasius. You can find them both here: A958494 (on Arianism).

The Council of Nicea gave us the Nicene Creed, which is not mentioned, and much else besides in its 20 canons. On the other hand the books of the New Testament were defined neither at Nicea nor by Constantine.

Perhaps the problem I have with this entry is that it has the wrong title. It's not really about the Council of Nicea.
