While reading the description for the Protection from Evil spell, I hit a hick-up.
The lack of a definition of the term 'Evil Creature'.
Now, is an evil creature any creature with an Evil Alignment and/or the Evil Subtype, or is it just a creature with the evil subtype?
On a slightly related note, my DM loves summoners, and we are always fighting Eidolons. Are the Eidolons of an evil summoner considered evil as well?
Thanks!

1) Yes, either having an evil alignment, or the evil subtype, or both fulfil the term 'evil creature'.
2)Yes, an eidolon shares the summoner's alignment. However the eidolon is specifically cited in its description as to not be kept at bay by protection from evil.
"In addition, due to its tie to its summoner, an eidolon can touch and attack creatures warded by protection from evil and similar effects that prevent contact with summoned creatures."

Eidolons have the same alignment as the Summoners who call them.
Also of note, Eidolons are special exceptions to certain rules, like this:
In addition, due to its tie to its summoner, an eidolon can touch and attack creatures warded by protection from evil and similar effects that prevent contact with summoned creatures.
As to your first question, I'm guessing Evil Alignment... but that's just a guess.

Even better, an evil creature is anything with evil on its alignment.
The human that chose to become the evil wizard threatening the town? Evil
The orc predisposed towards evil and has an evil alignment? Evil
The black dragon that was born evil and is still evil? Evil.
AND
Anything with an evil subtype. The succubus trying to reform still picks up as evil under the spell.
Thanks a lot guys!

I wonder if you can cite the source for the evil creature as an alignment reference; my DM is a stickler.
Evil is evil, if a creature has an evil alignment or evil subtype it counts as an evil creature. You won't really find anything on that as a "reference", nor do you really need one, it is a basic stat for any creature in the game.
