How about this? I added the redirects to filter out the errors on files that I could not read.
You can leave that in or take it out. I also chopped off the line count, word count character count.
I added the second part to remove the files. I have not tested the code for the remove.
But it should work.

Code:
# to display the files
for line in `find * -type f`
do
   if [ `wc -l $line | cut -d" " -f1` = 1 ]
   then
      echo "$line"
   fi
done

# to remove the files
for line in `find * -type f`
do
   if [ `wc -l $line | cut -d" " -f1` = 1 ]
   then
      rm -vi "$line"
   fi
done

If it is in a single directory, in pure shell, try:
Code:
for i in *
do
  if [ -f "$i" ] && read && ! read; then
    echo "$i"
  fi < "$i"
done
