A level history of art still exists?

I'm considering taking online courses for a levels.

In Cambridge Assessment and AQA websites History of Art isn't there. This article from 2016 says for AQA a level in History of Art will be scrapped.

Still, I thought the History of Art exists on a levels because I saw this online course from oxbridge home learning.

However, while the History of Art page itself exists on the pearson edexcel website, I only see Art and Design as a level qualification.

Does it mean that the History of Art page is there only to support teachers teaching the history section of the Art and Design subject? or does it still exists as a standalone a level subject?

Thanks for the info. Do you know if the History of Art would be seen as a less credible subject? According to articles, there were less than 900 students taking the subject back in 2016. Why so little?

I think I'll enjoy the History of Art much more than other subjects, but I'm wondering if I should take History or English Literature instead if these would make me more competent in admissions.
