Sure, why not! I would wash the walls first though.
If it a wall papering covering no. That will eventuly bubble and peal.

You can paint over wall covering, but you have to be sure all seams are secure before attempting that. Then buy Kolz primer and do at least one coat( depending on the intensity of the paper pattern and having the primer tinted to match your topcoat paint).
continue with your paint and appreciate your hard work!! Good luck!
Wash the walls as Naomie suggests. Then prime with a good stain blocking primer like Zinsser 123. Then paint with your color.
