What should I do?
Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.
If the image is
non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no
fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
FTR, I do not like the new 'Awards' table format, and prefer the previous 'Years'-first format. There is no advantage to an 'Awards'-first table format, and I find the info much harder to parse in this format... --

IJBall: I used Rater, and it judged the article to be a 'B'. Not sure what's missing, though, that keeps it a 'C'.

@
Alaney2k: What is "Rater"? Is this some kind of script? If you've been using this for all of your assessments, I definitely find its assessments questionable at best (as it seems to be consistently "inflating" assessment ratings IMO)... In any case, 'B'-class has like 6 specific criteria that need to be met, and articles should be checked by knowledgeable editors ("by hand") before being assessed as 'B'. --

Yes Rater is a script. Then an editor reviews what it suggests and sets the values. It then does the actual edit to the file. Articles do move up from stub to start to C, etc. over time, so it is completely normal for them to change when a review is done. Pretty rare for an article to go down a level over time. Anyway, Rater provides an estimate, which I have found to be pretty good for a script. I disagree with it no more that 5% of the time, I'd say. I have been editing since 2006, I feel like I have a good general idea how to do this. Of course, I do admit I am not perfect.
