Three Minors + Pawn vs Queen

If the pawn is a rook pawn, and it's bishop pair and knight, can the queen still draw?

Assuming of course the starting position doesn't have anything hanging

Commonly the Queen side loses. If however it is Q+2N+B+P and the pawn is a "rook pawn"  then the queen side commonly draws. But be careful, there are always exceptions, especially when the pawn is "advanced".

This for example is a draw

Black wins a piece by force in a couple of moves. Not all that convincing an example.

The original poster asked: can the queen still draw?
This example shows: yes, sometimes the queen can draw.
