Tiling

If it's not too deep, just give it a 5:1 coat of pva and the adhesive should take up the irregularities. Tile as normal.

If you're concerned about the strength of the drywall as a result of removing too much of the surface paper, you can rebuild that wall by:
a) running strips of fiberglass mesh drywall tape over that bare paper in both the vertical and horizontal direction, then...
b) painting over that fiberglass mesh with a concrete bonding agent (which will already be of a paintable consistancy). You could use diluted white wood glue instead of concrete bonding agent if this is a dry area.
As the adhesive dries, it will bond the fiberglass mesh to the paper, thereby replacing the strength of the missing paper.
