Conventional electron-phonon coupling induces either odd (triplet) or even (singlet) pairing states in a time reversal and inversion invariant Dirac semi - metal. In certain range of the chemical potential $\mu $ and parameters characterizing the pairing attraction (effective electron-electron coupling constant $\lambda $ and the Debye energy $T_{D}$) the energy of the singlet although always lower, prevails by a very slim margin over the triplet. This means that interactions that are small but discriminate between the spin singlet and the spin triplet determine the nature of the superconducting order there. It shown that in materials close enough to the Dirac point ($\mu \lesssim T_{D}$) magnetic impurities stabilize the odd pairing superconducting state.
