Obviously we do want some articles about words,

we have "Truthiness", and many other well sourced and

these, so we must want some articles on words.
Personally, I've always felt that Wikipedia shouldn't have
encyclopedia articles about words. In my opinion, if an article about
a word is long, it should still be transwikied to wiktionary.
That said, I think an article could be probably be made about
"truthiness" which was about the concept, not the word. As for
"Thou", I'd vote for it be transwikied.
One way or another, some sort of policy would be
better than "Rewrite into a non-word article. If not
possible, delete if short, keep if long and nice looking".
I'd say "If it's a noun, transwiki and try to rewrite into a non-word
article (if that fails, delete or redirect). If not, transwiki and
try to create a redirect (or delete)."
