Please solve the programming task below using a self-contained code snippet in a markdown code block.

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums and an integer k.
A subarray is called equal if all of its elements are equal. Note that the empty subarray is an equal subarray.
Return the length of the longest possible equal subarray after deleting at most k elements from nums.
A subarray is a contiguous, possibly empty sequence of elements within an array.
 
Please complete the following python code precisely:
```python
class Solution:
    def longestEqualSubarray(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> int:
```
