Example 3 in the article shows that a circle, while not a convex set, is a convex metric space. I see you are suggesting another such example above. Feel free to add it in. One could also put in a blurb in the intro saying that convex metric spaces are not necessarily convex sets.

What do you mean by a line with a closed interval removed? If you restrict the distance function on line to this subset, then it is not convex, and so how does this give contradiction to claim that convexity implies geodesic convexity?

I think that we need to further stress the difference between, metric convexity and usual convexity, in that some sets that are non-convex in the usual sense are convex by this article's definition. For example, let

as you suggest. However, my point goes even further. Not only does metric convexity not imply usual convexity (as in the example of the circle), it does not imply
437: 127: 361:
geodesic metric = any two points can be joined by minimizing geodesic (that is also convex metric space in old german way, the definition here is wrong)
432: 380:
The first two are only equivalent for complete metric spaces. The second two are only equivalent for complete and locally compact metric spaces; see

lenght metric = distance is infimim of lengths of paths connecting two points (that is what called Intrinsic metric in
300: 252: 21: 397:) of a non-locally compact complete intrinsic metric space in which two points are not joined by a geodesic. 313:
Convex metric space is old name geodesic space. In the article a wrong def is given. Why revert my edit...--
280: 409: 333: 39: 80: 328:
Your edit was reverted because the definitions given in the two articles define different concepts.

The plane with a bounded open line segment removed are a length metric space which is not convex.
381: 266: 86: 387:
The rational numbers with the induced Euclidean metric are convex but not a length metric space.

There are three standard defs which reflect different level of the same thing:
