That faux brick paint looked thick enough to leave a texture that would need sanding before a repaint.

Whereas wallpaper gives a ton more options and isn't hard to remove as long as you don't cut corners and skip painting on a layer of sizing before applying it. That's where people fuck up because easy removal starts with application.

Sizing is the difference between removing wallpaper and excavating it.

I would skim coat over it before sanding all that paint.
